FASHION DESIGNERS VIKTOR & ROLF


Viktor & Rolf is an Amsterdam-based fashion brand. The company was founded in 1993 by designers Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren.



Viktor & Rolf met while studying fashion at the Arnhem art academy. After graduating they moved to Paris, interning for brands such as Maison Martin Margiela, designing their own clothes in the evenings and presenting them in the art circuit. In 1993, Viktor & Rolf won the Festival d'Hyeres prize.

Characteristics of their clothes include layering, distorting, exaggerating and repeating of classical design elements (blouses with 10 nested collars, upside-down and lop-sided dresses).
