Viktor& Rolf‘s Spring/Summer 2025 Couture collection explores the boundless possibilities of AI through variations on a single outfit, crafted from luxurious silk gazar.
Viktor&Rolf SS25 Couture: Deconstructing the Classics
Viktor&Rolf’s Spring/Summer 2025 Haute Couture collection offers a fascinating commentary on the intersection of artificial intelligence and couture tradition. The collection revolves around a single, deceptively simple outfit: a beige trench, a white shirt, and blue pants. However, through a series of wildly diverse variations, Viktor&Rolf explores the boundless possibilities of AI-inspired design.
The collection pays homage to couture’s history while playfully subverting its codes. Each look, though drastically different, is unified by the use of luxurious silk gazar from RuTo Coli, echoing Viktor&Rolf’s 1999 “Blacklight” collection. This choice highlights the brand’s commitment to exceptional materials and craftsmanship.
The collection showcases Viktor & Rolf’s signature blend of rules and bows, expressed in both baroque and minimalist styles. The runway presentation itself playfully incorporates AI, with a loudspeaker announcing each exit like couture prompts, adding to the whimsical and thought-provoking atmosphere.
The 24 looks were meticulously crafted using 900 meters of Italian silk gazar from RuTo Coli. Models wore custom brown satin heels and flats by Christian Louboutin, complemented by curated vintage jewellery from Droomfabriek Amsterdam.
