When we saw Viktor & Rolf's wonderful hand made dolls in the glass cabinets of Selfridges' Wonder Wall last spring, we knew something was in the wind. But we never imagined it could have been as electrifying and thought-provoking as the recent
House of Viktor & Rolf exhibition at the Barbican Centre.
After countless visits to the exhibition, we attended the symposium Inside The House of Viktor & Rolf, (where we even got a chance to meet the well-loved duo!) which offered a glimpse into the creative world of the superstar designers, as well as theoretical debate around their designs and strategies.
Led by Penny Martin, the symposium featured an interview of the designers, accompanied by inspiring presentations exploring the heritage, designs and exhibition itself, by José Teunissen, Ulrich Lehmann and Judith Clark (FHT associated lecturer).
For those that didn't get a chance to attend, a video of the symposium, as well as a transcript of the interview is now available on SHOWstudio.
