Viktor & Rolf

Viktor & Rolf is the Dutch house that treats fashion as art first and clothing second. Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren met at the Arnhem Academy of Art and Design, launched the label in 1993, and won the Grand Prix at the Hyères festival the same year. Three decades on they sit on the Paris haute couture calendar, and their shows read closer to performance than to a sales floor. Their gowns hang in museum collections, and the house perfume, Flowerbomb, has been a fixture since 2005.
