The collection showcased their ability to blend couture with fantasy, creating a whimsical and otherworldly experience for the audience. The main idea of the collection was the concept of magic intertwined with the natural world. Viktor & Rolf paid homage to the mystical qualities of sage, a sacred plant associated with healing and wisdom.

Walter Gilman, a mathematics student at Miskatonic University, takes up lodging in Arkham's legend-haunted "Witch House." Before long, the room's weird architecture, dark history and disturbing sounds invade his psyche, and even his friends and fellow students can't help him. Is he going mad, or are his horrifying dreams somehow becoming reality?
The Dreams in the Witch House was made into a short segment for Showtime cable television s Masters of Horror series, directed by Stuart Gordon, under the title 9 and neighbor Frank Elwood changing genders to become Frances Elwood. An initially mysterious figure later identified as the immemorial figure of the deputy or messenger of hidden and terrible powers--the Black Man of the witch-cult, and the Nyarlathotep of the Necronomicon.
They incorporated this botanical element throughout their designs, using sage-colored fabrics and intricate sage leaf motifs. The collection featured flowing gowns, tailored suits, and exaggerated silhouettes, all enhanced by enchanting details. Delicate beadwork, ethereal embroidery, and shimmering sequins adorned the garments, adding an extra layer of magic to the already mesmerizing creations.
The Dreams in the Witch-House
"The Dreams in the Witch House" was probably inspired by the lecture The Size of the Universe given by [1] which Lovecraft attended three months prior to writing the story. De Sitter is even named in the story; he is mentioned as a mathematical genius, and remarked among other intellectual masterminds, including Albert Einstein. Several prominent motifs—including the geometry and curvature of space, and a deeper understanding of the nature of the universe through pure mathematics—are covered in de Sitter's lecture. The idea of using higher dimensions of non-Euclidean space as short cuts through normal space can be traced to A. S. Eddington's The Nature of the Physical World which Lovecraft alludes to having read ( HPL : Selected Letters of H. P. Lovecraft III). [2] These new ideas supported and developed a very similar conception of a fragmented mirror space that Lovecraft had previously developed in "The Trap" (written mid 1931).
An H. P. Lovecraft Encyclopedia says that "The Dreams in the Witch House" was "heavily influenced by Nathaniel Hawthorne's unfinished novel Septimius Felton".
One standout piece was a floor-length gown with a dramatic sage cape. The flowing cape resembled wings, transporting the wearer into a world of sorcery and mystique. Another notable ensemble was a structured suit with sage leaf appliqués, evoking a sense of power and enchantment. Viktor & Rolf's attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the collection. The runway itself was transformed into an enchanted forest, complete with mystical lighting, towering trees, and a moss-covered floor. The models, with makeup artistically done to resemble forest nymphs, confidently strutted down the runway, radiating an air of magical elegance. Overall, "Magical Sage Sorcery" was a spellbinding display of Viktor & Rolf's creative genius. The collection seamlessly merged high fashion with fantasy and showcased their ability to transport their audience into a world of imagination. Through their designs, Viktor & Rolf demonstrated the power of fashion to captivate and inspire, leaving the spectators in awe of the magical journey they had taken them on..
Reviews for "The power of Viktor & Rolf's sage sorcery: A fashion statement with impact"
1. Sarah - 2 stars - I had high hopes for Viktor Rolf Magical Sage Sorcery, but I was left disappointed. The scent was overpowering and gave me a headache within minutes of wearing it. The combination of sage and other herbs in the fragrance was not pleasant at all. It reminded me of a household cleaner rather than a perfume. Unfortunately, this one is not for me.
2. Mark - 1 star - I cannot understand the hype around Viktor Rolf Magical Sage Sorcery. The fragrance is incredibly strong and unpleasant. The notes of sage and other herbs are overpowering and left me feeling nauseous. I tried to give it a chance, but even after hours, the scent did not mellow down. I would not recommend this scent to anyone who prefers subtle and elegant perfumes.
3. Emily - 2 stars - I was expecting so much more from Viktor Rolf Magical Sage Sorcery. The name and description made it sound intriguing and enchanting, but the reality was quite different. The scent was rather generic and lacked the uniqueness I was hoping for. It smelled like any other cheap, synthetic fragrance out there. I would not repurchase or recommend this perfume to anyone looking for something magical and captivating.
4. Michael - 2 stars - I was intrigued by the concept of Viktor Rolf Magical Sage Sorcery, but the execution fell flat. The scent was too masculine for my liking, and the combination of sage and other herbs was too overpowering. It lacked the sophistication and elegance that I expect from a high-end fragrance. I was disappointed with this purchase, and I wouldn't recommend it to others unless they enjoy strong, herbal scents.
