Viktor&Rolf RTW Spring Summer 2026: Haute Couture Reimagined For Everyday Luxury
Luxferity, 03.10.2025
“Ready-to-Wear is like a souvenir we’ve brought back from the world of Haute Couture. It carries our spirit and poetic point of view just as vividly.” — Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren
Viktor&Rolf’s Spring/Summer 2026 Ready-to-Wear Collection is an ode to the maison’s minimal-baroque spirit, translating its couture DNA into wearable artistry. Building upon last year’s celebrated Couture Prompt narrative, this season revisits archival haute couture from 1998, reimagined through sculptural silhouettes designed for modern expression.

Sculptural Silhouettes With Urban Edge
Guided by the house’s Haute Couture laboratory, Viktor&Rolf stages a dialogue between bold volumes and the sharp lines of urban architecture. Dresses remain the centerpiece: from deconstructed trenchcoat cocktail gowns to playful mini silhouettes, the collection elevates day-to-night dressing with theatrical ease.
Pleated Ruffle Chiffon Top
The denim capsule expands this season, with drapé shorts, pencil skirts, and Viktor&Rolf’s signature layered waistbands, reaffirming denim as both practical and poetic. Shirts range from fluid oversized statements to sharply tailored pieces — underscoring the house’s tension between ease and drama.

Couture-Inspired Details
Volants cascade across hems and peplums, while jabot ruffles and dragged necklines reinvent tailoring with movement and theatricality. Crushed plissée treatments capture light and air, while triple-layer constructions explore proportion through tanks, skirts, and denim.
Metallic Knit Bodysuit
This season’s palette of timeless neutrals — black, white, beige, and cream — anchors the collection, punctuated by deep navy, masculine olive gabardine, and playful polka-dot organza. Light blue organza and satin bring a luminous freshness, balancing sculptural depth with ethereal lightness.

Fabrics That Speak Couture
Fabric selection is central to Viktor&Rolf’s storytelling:
- Italian silk organza, Japanese gazar, and fluid satin bring translucence and shine.
- Crisp cotton poplin, silk-linen blends, and tailoring wool lend structure and precision.
- Denim, reinterpreted through couture craft, grounds the collection in modern practicality.

The interplay of these materials transforms each look into a wearable work of art, blurring the lines between ready-to-wear and couture.
