Viktor&Rolf

Fashion Statements

With Contributions by Roger Diederen and Franziska Stöhr
An unconventional approach to design at an avant-garde luxury fashion house.

For more than three decades, Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren have explored, with breathtaking virtuosity, the boundaries between the worlds of haute couture and art. This book reflects Horsting and Snoeren’s passions, obsessions, and singular vision through the work of their fashion house, Viktor&Rolf.

Viktor&Rolf’s creations have been embraced by artists like Madonna, Tilda Swinton, Lady Gaga, Doja Cat, and Cardi B, as well as many dancers and opera singers. This book presents one hundred of the designers’ most daring couture pieces alongside works by renowned visual artists like Ellen von Unwerth, Andreas Gursky, Inez & Vinoodh, and Cindy Sherman. Along with introductory essays and an interview with Horsting and Snoeren, this is an in-depth look at Viktor&Rolf’s unique concept of wearable art.
