In the Studio with Viktor & Rolf

NOWNESS has ventured into the studio of artistic duo Viktor & Rolf and brought back the video below. The duo has often been compared to Gilbert & George, and the association is never far away: they’re performance artists who chose the fashion world as their scene, living out their wild, conceptual designs. The designers’ daily lives behind closed doors have been shrouded in mystery up til now, as we see them practicing yoga, surprising us with a beautiful rendition of ‘Babooshka’ by their favourite singer Kate Bush – all behind the doors of their historic Amsterdam mansion-turned-atelier. “Everything you see in the film is based on their daily routines,” says director Marcus Gaab, who included a tongue-in-cheek wink to The Shining.
