Viktor & Rolf exhibition arrives in the US at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta

“Viktor & Rolf. Fashion Statements”, the first major retrospective dedicated to the Dutch fashion duo Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren, has arrived at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta.

The exhibition, which runs until February 8, 2026, celebrates more than three decades of the brand's avant-garde approach to fashion and art.

Organized by curator Thierry-Maxime Loriot and originally presented at Kunsthalle Munich in early 2024, the exhibition showcases more than 100 creations by the designers spanning more than 30 collections.

Presented in eight themed chapters, including “Russian Dolls,” “Fashion Statements,” “Zen Garden,” and “Couture Upcycling,” the show features large-scale garments and the designers’ intricate “dolls in progress,” dressed in miniature versions of their couture pieces.

“The singular and charming vision of Viktor & Rolf's work offers a unique dialogue between art and fashion,” said Loriot. “For the first time in the United States, visitors will discover a unique contemporary installation featuring three decades of his avant-garde approach to haute couture, his exquisite and inventive craftsmanship, and countless unexpected inspirations.”

Viktor & Rolf collections often juxtapose romance and power, exuberance and control, classicism and rebellion with modern techniques. Signature motifs – bows, ruffles, embroidery and sculptural silhouettes – are reinvented through patchwork, laser cutting and experimental fabric manipulation. Their groundbreaking work has earned them critical praise and a devoted following among artists and celebrities such as Lady Gaga, Madonna, Cardi B and Tilda Swinton.

Beyond fashion, the couple has collaborated across disciplines, designing costumes for Robert Wilson's dance and opera productions and exploring the intersections of fashion, painting and sculpture in collections such as Wearable Art (Fall/Winter 2016) and Performance of Sculptures (Spring/Summer 2016).

“We are delighted that, after Munich, our work will be presented for the first time in the United States, at the High Museum in Atlanta, an institution that always exhibits innovative and pioneering artists,” said Viktor & Rolf.

“We have always felt strongly about the way museum exhibitions complement our seasonal runway presentations. Exhibitions are more democratic than the runway: they allow more visitors and last longer. They can show that certain themes recur over the years and highlight the sublime craftsmanship that goes into creating our pieces. We look forward to sharing more than three decades of our work with the American public this year. autumn”.
