Dutch designers Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren are heading to Australia.

The pair will be on hand for the opening of Viktor&Rolf: Fashion Artists at NGV.

They will appear in conversation with international guest curator Thierry-Maxime Loriot in a major public event on October 21.

The exhibition will feature some of the most show-stopping and innovative works by the Dutch design duo.

These will include over 35 haute couture pieces from the designers’ collections, presented alongside earlier designs from the Viktor&Rolf archive and international museum collections.

Also on display will be a selection of their work-in-progress ‘Dolls’: replicas of antique dolls dressed in the designers' most iconic looks.

Viktor&Rolf in Conversation will explore the designers’ career-defining ethos of ‘wearable art’.

Since forming their artistic partnership in 1992, Horsting and Snoeren have experimented with design, technical virtuosity and sculptural forms.

They are also renowned for their experimental runway shows, including their 1999 ‘Russian Doll’ show in which model Maggie Rizer was progressively dressed by the designers in nine different layers.

In 2003’s ‘One Woman Show’, inspired by actress and muse Tilda Swinton, the pair featured the actress herself amidst a runway of models made up in her likeness.
