Designer Viktor&Rolf Signature Style
Since the initial debut of Viktor&Rolf wedding gowns at New York Bridal Fashion Week in 2016, the Dutch designers have developed a bridal style best defined as avant-garde with a classic twist. While brides can expect plenty of provocative style elements found within their signature haute couture, the 'Mariage' label translates high fashion looks into approachable designs for the everyday bride. With a brand mission "to create spectacular beauty and unexpected elegance through an unconventional approach to fashion," Viktor&Rolf bridal collections often feature statement bows, oversized 3-D blooms, sleek jumpsuits, and playful, knee-length gowns.
A Brief History of Wedding Dress Designer Viktor&Rolf
Dutch designers Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren, founded Viktor&Rolf in 1993 upon graduation from the Arnhem Academy of Art and Design. It didn't take long for the duo to establish themselves within the haute couture world, making their Paris Fashion Week debut in 1998.

This dress solidified their status among the most celebrated designers in the world and is recognized as an icon of royal wedding fashion to this day.
