Art Couture
Throughout the short but very fruitful fashion history, we see the great creations of the masters who have left their legacy. Some women have been freed from his bonds, have given him power and presence, others created the silhouettes to wrap the body, which once were regarded as innovative and subversive others, the more daring, able to masterfully blend art the fashion, creating pieces that became landmarks and left marked our spirit. At present there are few large, thanks to his exploits, have already earned a place in the elite group of immortals fashion. And only a handful are on track to achieve.
A pair of Dutch began to surprise the world with their creations makes a decade, combining their creativity and conceptual proposal with a magnificent French tailoring and dramatic art can not be beaten. Rolf Snoeren and Viktor Horsting are responsible for making pieces worthy of a flag of art, beyond functioning as an inanimate piece of clothing, they propose a new way of viewing the body, its forms and how they should be dressed. Year after year, season after season, the duo offers libraries a powerful philosophical background that makes us aware that fashion should not be seen, but interpreted. In 1998, Viktor & Rolf presented a show inspired by mutations in the body after being exposed to atomic bomb radiation, creating new and unusual shapes and exploring the theme of the grotesque as a re-conception of the aesthetic. In 2004, in his One Woman Show, garments referred to the classic elegance of black, with precise cuts that framed the figure, also played with the progression of the garments and their detachment from the body like a second skin, this in a clear reference to otherness. The imperfect, irregular and rough, were assumptions that were embodied in some of the clothes the parade No, Fall 2008, where he celebrated and extolled the beauty of what is usually considered as "ugly" of course, without forgetting at any time either the court or his impeccable clothing.
Viktor & Rolf is a brand that has established itself quickly becoming a recognizable name and a given and unquestionable, its creators have managed to incorporate the technical elements of art as few have Indeed, as few will know for sure do. Season after season, many expect their always unpredictable and surprising shows, and his genius never disappoints. Viktor & Rolf have made their mark, and will remain captured for eternity.
