The Riot Act
by Kimball Hastings

Nothing in fashion has created more rock-star-style pandemonium like H&M's designer collaborations. Karl Lagerfeld has always been larger-than-life, but since his stint for the Swedish retailer, the Kaiser (as the German dynamo is nicknamed) has been treated like the King (as in Elvis) Now, avant-garde Dutch duo Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren are stealing the cheap-and-chic spotlight with a collection of tuxedo-inspired clothes. Will it be a case of hysteria repeating? Style Blogger put that very question to Panic! At the Disco, a band that is no stranger to frenzied fans--or formal dressing."I love shirts with built-in ties," says guitarist Ryan Ross, as he helps model Holly Bartle slip a vest over a Viktor & Rolf for H&M bow-neck sweater. Add skinny jeans, and Holly could easily take center stage with the quartet. "We incorporate vaudeville and old Hollywood into our performances and look," says Ryan, describing a mix that also sums up Viktor & Rolf's runways shows in Paris. Just don't expect to see a bargain version of the twosome's infamous pillow-topped dresses at your local H&M. "What we've created are classics with a twist." A formula guarenteed to inspire panic, not at the disco, but on the sales floor.

NEVER!
Now, for those of you who are not familiar with the band, Panic! At the Disco, here is a shot of them.
