Viktor & Rolf Couture Spring Summer 2015

Remember our project (OLD)Fashion(ed) developed in cooperation with Dutch Dance Festival and Museum aan het Vrijthof?
Firstly, (OLD)Fashion(ed), is chosen as one of the exemplary projects for the Art of Impact, the new programme of the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science and six public funding bodies for culture. The programme supports cultural projects which have an effect on society. This means that with a modest grant from The Art of Impact, (OLD)Fashion(ed) can extend its reach even further in 2015.
Secondly, craftswoman Ingrid Reinhoud collaborated with Viktor & Rolf for their Couture spring summer collection 2015, which they presented this week in Paris. For this collection they drew inspiration from the expressive landscapes of Vincent van Gogh. The collection featured striking 3D flowers and enormous straw hats was created in collaboration with Ingrid Reinhoud who know everything about the crafts of straw braiding.
