The blue-screen collection for last autumn was fun to watch but hard to wear. Sales flattened and the buzz waned. Then, at the Viktor & Rolf show last winter, as the lights came up a familiar voice intoned, "Be yourself. Follow your own path." The speaker and the model on the runway were the same: Tilda Swinton. The collection, worn on a parade of models all made up to look...
