For more than three decades, Dutch fashion artists Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren have explored the boundaries between haute couture and art with breathtaking virtuosity. The self-confessed fashion world outsiders have garnered critical acclaim for their unconventional designs that reveal technical prowess and a deep knowledge of fashion and history, and their creations have been embraced by artists including Cardi B, Lady Gaga, Madonna, and Tilda Swinton. This fall, the High will be the exclusive U.S. venue to present this exhibition, the first major retrospective of their work, organized by curator Thierry-Maxime Loriot and the Kunsthalle Munich in Germany, where it debuted in February 2024. The exhibition will feature more than 100 of Viktor&Rolf's most daring and avant-garde works, designed for the runway and beyond, that reflect the duo's passions, obsessions, and singular vision. Included are�garments from more than 30 of their collections as well as selections of their "works-in-progress dolls," inspired by antique porcelain dolls and dressed in miniature versions of the designers' handmade creations. The works are accompanied by elaborate animated projections designed for the exhibition by the internationally acclaimed visual effects studio Rodeo FX.
