VIKTOR & ROLF Couture Spring/Summer 2024 if you want to support this blog consider donating to:ko-fi.com/fashionrunways The duo described the presentation, titled Viktor&Rolf Scissorhands, as “couture but with a punk attitude.” On the runway, the show unfolded as seven capsules, each led by a finished couture look trailed by three experimental iterations in escalating states of dismemberment. “You know the feeling when you want one thing, but you also want the opposite? You’re torn between the two?” Snoeren asked, somewhat rhetorically, backstage before the show. “On the one hand it’s about wanting something elegant and polished, and on the other it’s raw, immediate, and direct.” On the one hand, it offered a meta commentary about fashion’s eternal cycle of endings and new beginnings. On the other, the clothes looked just plain terrific.

VAGABONDS

Viktor&Rolf’s Haute Couture Autumn/Winter 2016 collection is created using select fabrics and garments from past seasons. Starting from scratch, fashion artists Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren use mementos from a multitude of past collections as a basis for their new creations. 

Fabrics are torn, mixed up and woven by hand to create new voluminous shapes and textures. Vintage pieces, including items from Viktor&Rolf's own archive, are used as a starting point for elaborately decorated garments. Embroideries consist of dense, organic mixtures of repurposed buttons, beads and crystals.

Martin margiela

Margiela is a Belgian fashion designer, artist, and founder of French luxury fashion house Maison Margiela. His designs can be recognised by his deconstructed, upcycled aesthetic and oversized silhouette. I was inspired by his use of volume.

In 2017 Malone was part of the Museum of Modern Arts fashion exhibition, Is Fashion Modern? He became one of the youngest artists in history to be added to the museum's permanent collection.

the bride struck early conversations with dutch designers viktor horsting and rolf snoeren to curate her wedding dress. what began as a highly intricate bridal look changed as soon as the bride tried on the toile. instead, they added a bold veil, which elevates the structure of the gown and ties in with the brand’s house codes. the veil is paired with a minimal tiara, the dutch diamond bandeau. 

the flower girls also donned custom gowns replicated after a v&r bridal look.

for the reception, the bride opted for newer still, engaging with up and coming designer, danielle hirsch, who has famously worked under celebrated bridal designers, marchesa and vera wang. the dress is paired with the württemberg ornate pearl tiara.

2 of Cups ~ Bachus Tarot

  With the Two of Cups, it’s not just another circumstance or idea that you have to work into a balance, it’s a whole other person. A person with his or her own needs, desires, and ideas. The act of collaboration can be inspiring, or it can drive people insane. Rather than the muse dynamic, where one person is doing all of the work and the other person just has to exist, here each person has to see the other as an equal. The Two of Cups is traditionally a marriage card; a wholly egalitarian relationship. When we put it into the artistic context, it becomes a collaboration where each partner feels that his or her ideas are being heard, and each person gets equal credit. Certainly throughout time there have been men who have taken credit for their wives’ work, like the painter Walter Keane, who claimed that he’d painted his wife Margaret’s paintings of big-eyed children, which were a runaway success in the 1950s and ’60s. But with the Two of Cups, mutual respect is required. Collaboration has led to important work, such as the Wright Brothers’ experiments in flight, or Dutch fashion designers Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren cocreating the successful and influential fashion house Viktor & Rolf. The performance artists Marina Abramović and Ulay were lovers as well as collaborators, and much of their work together explored what it is like for two people to become a single unit. Their androgynous and unified work, like their performance Relation in Time—where they sat back-to-back for seventeen hours, their long hair knotted together—expressed this idea of equality to the point where it was sometimes difficult to tell the two apart. The Two of Cups does not need to imply romance. There have certainly been many actor-and-director film collaborations that embody the Two of Cups dynamic, such as Michael Fassbender’s three films with director Steve McQueen, and Catherine Keener’s work with director Nicole Holofcener. But it does require respect, mutual admiration, and a level playing field. The Two of Cups asks you to take on another person and to allow him or her to work with you rather than for you. RECOMMENDED MATERIALS Rest Energy, short film (part of a series) by Marina Abramović and Ulay My Life in the Bush of Ghosts, recording by Brian Eno and David Byrne Hunger, film directed by Steve McQueen Radioactive: Marie & Pierre Curie, book by Lauren Redniss The Creative Tarot.

Artist Research - Viktor and Rolf

Viktor & Rolf is a Dutch avant-garde luxury fashion house founded in 1993 by Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren. For more than twenty years Viktor & Rolf have sought to challenge the idea of fashion and bridge the divide between fashion and art. Viktor & Rolf have designed both haute couture and ready-to-wear collections. The duo is renowned for their avant-garde designs, which rely heavily on theatrical and performative fashion runways.

I was talking with Mairead and she suggested to research the “NO” collection by Viktor and Rolf. I love how graphic and in your face they are. Very similar to how I was making my designs. Viktor and Rolf were able to make pretty simple undergarments but then build on top of them with sculptural pieces and I think that’s more of what I have to work on, setting a clear wearable piece and then adding on to that.
