Viktor & Rolf exhibition arrives in the US at Atlanta’s High Museum of Art
Published
October 13, 2025
“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.”

Munich Fabric Start puts emotional materiality centre stage with ‘Pleasure’ as its guiding theme
Published
January 15, 2026
Munich Fabric Start (MFS) is gearing up for its January 27–29 edition. Designers, product managers, and buyers will be able to explore around 1,000 spring/ summer 2027 collections from international fabric and trim manufacturers at the MOC Munich.
With the lead theme of “Pleasure,” the trade show’s organisers aim to spotlight “attitude, sensuality, and emotional materiality” over the three days of the fair. The lead theme frames fashion as an emotional space, an expression of attitude and cultural reflection. Colours, surfaces and materials become conduits for self-confidence and joie de vivre.
“After seasons of restraint, spring/ summer ’27 marks a deliberate counter-design: optimism, sensuality, and creative freedom take the place of pragmatism and neutrality. Physical presence and individuality are regaining importance- as a response to uncertainty, exhaustion and algorithmic predictability,” according to MFS.
“Efficiency and pragmatism are shaping current market developments. And these are not easy times for us as trade fair organisers either. We are countering this with a clearly structured trade fair and a strong positioning as a key source of inspiration, an interactive business forum, and a platform bringing together textile expertise. In terms of fashion and trends, we are heralding a change of perspective: optimism instead of restraint. Self-confidence instead of uncertainty,” adds managing director Florian Klinder.
With the integrated shows Bluezone, Keyhouse, and The Source, the trade fair brings together all relevant fashion segments: high-quality fabrics and trims, international denim expertise, and forward-looking innovations along the entire textile value chain. International reach, collaboration, and sustainability remain central themes.
The consolidation of the trade fair segments at the MOC has proven successful. The trade fair with its eight areas will once again be held under one roof.
Bluezone and Keyhouse with “Sustainable Innovations” will once again be anchored in the high-footfall area of Hall 2 at the upcoming event- directly connected to the Fabrics and Additionals areas.
The Design Studios in Hall 4 are now positioned even more centrally. And the sustainable sourcing area Resource is also set to have a stronger presence, located directly next to The Source in Hall 1.
To provide buyers and designers with a holistic overview, the Bluezone denim trends will be integrated directly into the trend worlds built around the lead theme in the MOC foyer. This new form of presentation reflects market developments in which denim and classic fashion segments are increasingly merging within collections.
The exhibitors will once again include well-known names from the fabric and textile industry, including the Albini Group, Kiki Fashion, Calik, Lanificio di Tollegno, Bornemann Etiketten, Manteco, Pontetorto, Riopele, Thermore, Bureaux Bo, Can Tekstil, and Troficolor Denim Makers.
As usual, a supporting programme of keynotes, panel discussions, and trend presentations will round off the trade fair offering. Current industry topics will be discussed and contextualised on the “Stage” with Peclers Paris, David Shah, O/M Collective, Olivia Does Design, and Monsieur-T, among others. The curator of Sustainable Innovations, Simon Angel, will offer in-depth sessions on future-oriented, sustainable material solutions.
