The past 15 years of work
Viktor & Rolf is now on display at the Barbican Art Gallery in London as
part of an exhibition showcasing the Dutch fashion designers’ signature pieces
from 1992 to the present day.
This retrospective
exhibition, entitled the House of Viktor & Rolf, will display the outfits
on life-sized porcelain dolls in a specially commissioned theatrical
installation.
Highlights include pieces from the Atomic Bomb, Russian Doll and
Bells collections. Also included in the exhibition will be a six-meter tall
dollhouse designed by Siebe Tettero, filled with 54 miniature dolls clad in
outfits displayed on their life-sized counterparts in the gallery.
At the exhibition, a special
book documenting the work of the Dutch duo to date, as well as a specially
commissioned silk scarf and limited edition perfumes will be available for
sale. The House of Viktor & Rolf will be on display until 21 September.
