The Kunsthalle München presents the first major retrospective on Dutch fashion artists Viktor&Rolf in Germany. For more than three decades, Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren (both *1969) have been exploring with breathtaking virtuosity the boundaries between the worlds of haute couture and art. Celebrated for their unconventional approach to design, their creations have been embraced by artists such as Madonna, Tilda Swinton, Lady Gaga, Doja Cat, and Cardi B as well as many ballet dancers and opera performers. Reflecting the duo’s passions, obsessions and singular vision, the spectacular scenography will showcase 100 of their most daring creations—many exhibited for the first time—along with numerous videos, sketches, dolls dressed in the designers’ iconic creations, and works by renowned visual artists like Andreas Gursky and Cindy Sherman.

The exhibition is developed in collaboration with Thierry-Maxime Loriot, who curated the extraordinary exhibitions Jean Paul Gaultier. From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk (2015), Peter Lindbergh. From Fashion to Reality (2017), and Thierry Mugler. Couturissime (2020/21).

Viktor&Rolf Fashion Statements is organized by the Kunsthalle München and curated by Thierry-Maxime Loriot in collaboration with maison V&R, Prestige et Collections International and L’Oreal Luxe.
