Join our Mailing List. Balancing Frames and Canvas at Viktor and Rolf. Viktor and Rolf, Couture, AW15, Paris. For example, many familiar garments use the shoulders and the waist as anchor points since garments will rest on certain points of the body once gravity takes its toll. Spaghetti straps may suffice for a lightweight camisole, but once you’re trying to support a dress made of canvas and frames, it makes sense to resort to wide strapping instead.
