The Viktor & Rolf 2015 Fall Couture Collection is a literal take on the term "fashion is art." With a line of garments that mirror priceless framed art pieces, these garments are fit for art collectors and fashion fans.
While Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren have never dabbled in the conventional way of design, this collection is among the designers' most interesting yet. Released among the Paris Couture Week audience, this Fall Couture Collection features 21 looks, all of which are designed with hemlines that look like picture frames.
Each garment is made of clean white fabric that looks as if it has been painted upon. In addition to looking like framed art, these pieces can also be hung upon the wall like actual paintings.
