Viktor&Rolf Cover Cover
About the Item
A celebration of the quirky, surprising, and often spectacular work of Dutch fashion designers Viktor & Rolf
Conceived and designed by acclaimed graphic designer Irma Boom, this book brings to life the legendary conceptual creations of Dutch duo Viktor & Rolf. Entirely made up of covers, each of which relates to a specific show, with images, sketches, and quotes showcasing that particular collection, it elevates bookmaking to an entirely new level while referencing the dramatic layers that feature in the designers' work. Exploring Viktor & Rolf's signature stunning style, this book is the ultimate homage to the spectacle of fashion.
"One questions how a fashion house famous for its ability to transform - and transform in ways that are theatrical, experimental and 3-dimensional - could be distilled into a book. Irma Boom's Viktor&Rolf: Cover Cover [...] does not leave you questioning for long. The acclaimed Dutch graphic designer performs her own transformation in the expansive tome, reinventing the very concept of a book in order to bring Viktor&Rolf to life on the page, employing the same principles of wit, experimentation and rule-breaking that the fashion designers employ on the runway... Viktor&Rolf: Cover Cover reads as a true collaboration: a partnership between two experimental designers to transform the three-dimensional into the two-dimensional without losing the essence of the art. Each project has been reimagined in Cover Cover, transforming a fashion universe into one of graphic design. With each read there is more to discover. As the book declares in the front cover, both as means to introduce and challenge: 'This book invites you to discover the method in the madness'."—Wallpaper Magazine
"Conceived and designed by graphic designer Ima Boom [...] brings the legendary duo to life. The book as daring as the duo is made up of 8 page gatefolds, is hand sewn with the paper starting off super fine and getting thicker the deeper the reader delves in to the collections... A creative masterpiece."—Centmagazine.
