Publisher's Synopsis
Are we designers or artists?
Maybe it's possible to be both
For more than three decades, Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren have been exploring with breathtaking virtuosity the boundaries between the worlds of haute couture and art. The book reflects the duo's passions, obsessions and singular vision of their unconventional approach to design.
Viktor&Rolf's creations have been embraced by artists such as Madonna, Tilda Swinton, Lady Gaga, Doja Cat and Cardi B as well as many dancers and opera singers. Along with introductory essays and an interview with Viktor&Rolf, 100 of their most daring couture pieces, their dolls dressed in the designers' iconic creations as well as works by renowned visual artists like Ellen von Unwerth, Andreas Gursky, Inez&Vinoodh and Cindy Sherman provide an in-depth look at Viktor&Rolf's unique concept of wearable art.
