About

“Viktor & Rolf” is a Dutch fashion brand, which was founded in 1993 by designers Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren. The two were both born in 1963 and met while following the fashion at the Academy of Arts in Arnhem. After finishing school, they moved to live and work in Paris, where in 1993 won the award “Festival d’Hyeres”. In 1988, “Viktor & Rolf” presented their first fashion show during Fashion Week in Paris and drew immediate attention of the media and future fans. Over the next five years they launched a line of ready -to-wear clothing and men’s line “Musu.” In addition, they create women’s handbags and shoes (all works of the Dutch designer – Freddie Stevens), glasses (only for Asian market), scarves, ties and lingerie. In 2003, the Paris Fashion Museum presented a retrospective exhibition of the works of “Viktor & Rolf” and soon (in 2005) designers opened their first boutique in Milan. In November 2006, Viktor and Rolf continued the tradition of Karl Lagerfeld and Stella McCartney by starting to create clothing for the Swedish fashion brand “H & M”.
