Viktor & Rolf FALL 2015 COUTURE

"Art comes to life in a gallery of surreal proportions,"

"A dress transforms into an artwork,

back into a dress and into an artwork again.

Poetry becomes reality, morphing back into fantasy."

"Action painting meets Baroque. 

Paint is splattered – canvas is smashed. 

Cracked textile frames unleash the silhouette and create a voluminous bend of reality. 

Intricate motifs parade the catwalk, 

transforming Golden Age paintings with the rawness and spontaneity of action painting. 

The painterly gesture is achieved through trompe l'oeil techniques: 

each artwork is executed in a complex layering of laser-cut jacquards, 

embroideries and appliqués."

"Dresses"

"Freedom"

"A return to simplicity and to an uncomplicated lifestyle"

 Veronique Branquinho x Ronald Stoops 

"I need a really simple pace in my life.

 I just long for simple, authentic things.

 That’s why I said with this collection, 

instead of making a whole story, 

let’s just focus on 15 dresses. 

This is how it started – with a return to simplicity. 

I think that there was a feeling of nature that was connected to that. 

That’s why we decided to go to a forest with the girls and the dresses. 

Like with my A/W15 collection, 

there are words hidden in the dresses: 

love, hope and faith. 

And in a skirt there is "wild at heart", 

like the song or the movie by David Lynch, 

which I really love. 

It’s also a really nice state of mind — 

it’s an option to be wild at heart. 

To be free. Freedom from the rules."

"It’s always been a twisted relationship between fashion and the industry. 

It’s a creative thing, 

but it seems like all the figures and numbers have taken over. 

And I think we need to find a balance. 

I think when I started I was much more confident about designing and 

now it’s about rules. 

This collection was an emotional thing; 

I asked myself, 

'where do I come from? 

When was I really happy?' 

Because I am happy in the moment of creation, 

and I really love it, 

but this whole thing is tough. 

Especially because, 

even if I'm good, 

I'm still just a little studio; 

I have nothing to compare with the big brands. 

I’m not really playing on the same field." 

"One of the things I said to myself when we started was that

 I really need to find a way that I feel happy working in the industry, 

but also that I connected with people that I love, 

I trust. I just want to be surrounded by them, 

in both life and work. 

It makes it so much better. 

 I need this to be anchored. 

I love what I do — I love my job. 

Because I am happy in the moment of creation."

"I find the beauty of this product being 

when the simple form

 turns into various complicated configurations 

as a result of human interaction" 

My designs border on real and imagination. 

They usually answer the question What If? 

What if we could sit as we like? 

What if every object we own could be decomposable?

 What if we could create our own objects? 

I like people to be able to have a conversation with my designs, 

whether it be through interaction or the association that it brings.

 I love soft furniture 

and everything to do with colour, patterns and textures.

"Like mood boards you'd pin your favorite images to,"he said.

define us

"Extreme conditions and survival"

"The state of a collapsed economy that doesn't know how to move forward"

"An apocalyptic forecast of the future ecological meltdown of the world:

 Humankind is made up of creatures that evolved from the sea,

 and we may be heading back to an underwater future as the ice cap dissolves"

"The survival of the fittest, and the deleterious results of industrialization on the natural world"

"The world is a dark place"

"Global warming and the melting of ice caps,

 who knows in which century we'll have another winter like this one?" 

"Nuclear test explosions from the fifties to the seventies"

"The idea of having to evacuate home during a time of war, 

hiding possessions when a raid was impending, 

and using clothing as the means to carry away possessions more quickly."

"A crash"

 "Over fishing"

"We love fashion, but it's going so fast. We wanted to say 'No' this season."
