ON DISPLAY: Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren’s celebrations for the 25th anniversary of their Viktor & Rolf label will see their designs go on display at Rotterdam’s Kunsthal starting May 27. The “Viktor & Rolf: Fashion Artists 25 Years” retrospective will expand on their exhibition in Melbourne, Australia, last year and focuses on their conception of “wearable art.”
Curated by Thierry-Maxime Loriot, the expo will feature more than 45 haute couture pieces, stage costumes, the duo’s earlier designs as well as special pieces, such as a costume they created for Madonna in 2016 for her Miami Art Basel fund-raising concert. New works from recent collections will also be included, as will a selection of pieces from their work-in-progress “Dolls,” which are replicas of antique dolls dressed in Viktor & Rolf’s most distinctive looks. The exhibition will run until Sept. 30.
