“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. 

Running through February 8, 2026, the exhibition 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 of the designers’ creations spanning over 30 collections.

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

“The singular and enchanted 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 their avant-garde approach to haute couture, their exquisite and inventive craftsmanship and countless unexpected inspiration.”

Viktor & Rolf’s collections often juxtapose romance and power, exuberance and control, and classicism and rebellion with modern techniques. Signature motifs—bows, ruffles, embroidery, and sculptural silhouettes—are reimagined through patchwork, laser-cutting, and experimental fabric manipulation. Their boundary-pushing work has earned them critical acclaim and a devoted following among artists and celebrities including Lady Gaga, Madonna, Cardi B, and Tilda Swinton.

Beyond fashion, the pair have 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 (Autumn/Winter 2016) and Performance of Sculptures (Spring/Summer 2016).

“We are thrilled that after Munich our work will be presented for the first time in the United States at Atlanta’s High Museum, an institution that always showcases groundbreaking artists and innovators,” said Viktor & Rolf. 

“We have always felt strongly about the way museum shows complement our seasonal catwalk presentations. Exhibitions are more democratic than the runway: they allow more visitors, and they last longer. They can show that certain themes recur over the years and put a spotlight onto the sublime craftsmanship that goes into the creation of our pieces. We are looking forward to sharing more than three decades of our work with the American public this fall.”
