Dutch mania! Last month I had the delightful experience of chatting with Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren of Dutch design duo Viktor & Rolf. Within the same week, the Dallas Contemporary opened its exhibition of Walter Van Bierendonck—coined The Cultural Ambassador of the Flanders. Add the recent abdication of Queen Beatrix and the new King of the Netherlands Willem-Alexander—one must take note.
I’ve always loved Viktor and Rolf, and now that I’ve met them, I’m in love, even more, both adorable in person and their designs are pure magnificence they surreptitiously imbued a stylish irony of surreal beauty through every collection.
