WEARABLE ART AUTUMN/WINTER 2015

Fashion Show

WEARABLE ART

For Haute Couture Autumn/Winter 2015, the house of Viktor&Rolf reaffirms the roots as mapped out by Richard Martin 17 years ago. More than ever true to their core, fashion artists Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren use a mingling of fashion and art as a means of expression, presenting a collection of wearable art. Art comes to life in a gallery of surreal proportions. A dress transforms into an artwork, back into a dress and into an artwork again. Poetry becomes reality, morphing back into fantasy.

”Action painting meets Baroque”

Behind The Scenes

A dress transforms into an artwork, back into a dress and into an artwork again.

Behind The Scenes

Cracked textile frames unleash the silhouette and create a voluminous bend of reality. Intricate motifs parade the catwalk, transforming Golden Age paintings with the rawness and spontaneity of action painting.

”Poetry becomes reality, morphing back into fantasy.”

Art comes to life in a gallery of surreal proportions

The painterly gesture is achieved through trompe l'oeil techniques: each artwork is executed in a complex layering of laser-cut jacquards, embroideries and appliqués.
