**Paraphrased Digest:**
Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren, the creative minds behind Viktor & Rolf, are making a surprising comeback to ready-to-wear fashion after years of focusing exclusively on couture. In 2015, they had famously declared their departure from prêt-à-porter, but now they’ve decided to bring their couture experimentation into more wearable designs. With the backing of OTB, their parent company, the new collections will be developed in-house, ensuring a closer connection between their couture and ready-to-wear lines.
The designers emphasize that their couture is driven by ideas rather than price, and this philosophy carries over into their new ready-to-wear line. The fall 2025 collection draws inspiration from their fall 2024 Haute Abstraction couture collection, reinterpreting its cubist-inspired shapes into softer, more wearable forms. The result is a blend of rigorous tailoring and feminine proportions, with garments that transform from structured to fluid, creating striking silhouettes.
The collection features bold, geometric designs, such as long and short trench coats made in collaboration with Macintosh, and tops with lavish jabots that add a touch of romance. Casual pieces like triple-waisted pants and multi-collared shirts nod to their past ready-to-wear collections. Shot on the streets of Paris, the collection highlights the real-life appeal of these experimental designs, blending artfulness with everyday wearability.
While the daywear carries a dandyish, almost theatrical vibe, the evening options are more refined, featuring elegant pieces like a strapless LBD with a ruffled tulle skirt and a sensual celadon green dress with a pussy-bow neckline. A chic cocoon coat, though not directly linked to couture, complements the collection’s mix of square and round shapes, symbolizing their return to ready-to-wear. Viktor & Rolf’s latest venture is a testament to their ability to merge high fashion with practicality, creating a collection that is both innovative and wearable.
