Because We're worth it, House of Victor&Rolf

London’s Barbican Art Gallery is hosting a 15 year retrospective of Viktor & Rolf’s clever, inventive fashion collections. Fifty-five iconic pieces from past collections have been re-created in miniature and are displayed on custom made porcelain dolls. The clothing is replicated - no single detail is left out - even the model’s makeup looks are recreated on the dolls’ faces. Some of the dolls are displayed in a doll house, standing 28 feet tall, complete with spiral staircases and intricately detailed doorways. When asked what it was like to create the doll pieces, “It was like [doing] 30 collections,” says Horsting, explaining some of the patterns and prints had to be redesigned to fit the scale of a doll.”
The show opens on Wednesday, June 18th in London through September 21st. Barbican will also be hosting a Viktor & Rolf shop which will sell the Viktor & Rolf exhibition catalog, as well as limited edition postcards, limited edition versions of their fragrances, and a specially commissioned limited edition scarf designed by Viktor & Rolf. This exhibit is definitely a must see - I really hope this show travels to the U.S.!
