WearableArt -

Viktor & Rolf

Fashion artists Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren made their viewpoint with the reveal of their Haute Couture Autumn/ Winter 2015 collection, reaffirming that fashion does qualify as art. Art is not only what you may traditionally consider those that hang on a wall, because it may also clothe a body. The house of Viktor&Rolf used both fashion and art as their means of expression presenting a collection of WearableArt. They demonstrated the before and after of their fashion folly—how the integration of hinged frames on coats, dresses, and capes could transform the designs from outfits into artworks, from portrait collars to abstracted portraits.
