Viktor and Rolf showcased their designs on the third day of the Paris Couture Week, on July 5. The collection was themed 'embodiment'.

Instead of the usual gowns and dresses that dominate Paris Couture Week, Viktor and Rolf opted for swimwear this year, showcasing their distinctive approach to fashion.

A number of models sported swimwear that was accompanied by figurines of men in tuxedos without heads, perched on the models' shoulders; while others were draped around their torsos.

Viktor and Rolf also incorporated the popular Gen-Z phrase that gained prominence after Gwyneth Paltrow's skiing accident trial.

Viktor and Rolf didn't miss the opportunity to feature their iconic word "NO" in the collection. Shakira also wore a white dress with the word "NO" during the show.

Some of the looks were also references to the previous season's sensational, gravity-defying dresses.

Another bizarre piece was this three-layer bikini, which was also giving the oversized yet gravity-defying look.

The show also showcased several pieces that played with the length and proportion of the swimsuits.
