Visionaire Presents Viktor&Rolf Masterclass

September 4 – November 4, 2018

In celebration of its 25th year anniversary, luxury fashion house Viktor&Rolf partner with Visionaire for a short film and interactive installation at The Gallery at Cadillac House. The film centers around Viktor&Rolf’s avant-garde approach to fashion and is brought to life in New York as iconic looks from fashion artists’ Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren’s conceptual body of work, installed as life-size cutouts where visitors are encouraged to #StickYourHeadThruTheHole, resulting in playful and conceptual photo opps as if one was part of the Viktor&Rolf fashion show. Collections featured are ‘Atomic Bomb’ (1998), ‘One Woman Show’ (2003), ‘Bedtime Story’ (2005), ’NO’ (2008) and ‘Cutting Edge Couture’ (2010). 

A short film chronicling 25 years in 25 seconds is conducted as a crash course on Viktor&Rolf’s conceptual fashion. Delve into the laboratory of creative experimentation as viewers are taken through the iconic and surreal universe of Viktor&Rolf.
