Most of the times, grandiose statements applied to websites tend to be in bad form. (Take for instance, the results page to a Googling of “The Best Website Ever Designed.”) The folks behind Viktor & Rolf recently revamped their website, announcing it “A World Bigger Than Life,” a dramatic idea that given this day and age, I frankly find alarming.
