At Viktor & Rolf’s awe-inspiring SS26 couture show, the Dutch design duo quite literally built their final look in front of the fash pack – taking a single element from each look before it and applying it to a wondrously colourful, flying kite dress. Then, live and in front of the audience, Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren removed that effervescent element and applied it to the model behind them who was, at first, clad in a high-collar, belted, white minidress. Simultaneously, the kite dress functioned as a tribute to Kate Bush’s The Kick Inside album cover which has inspired the designers since their start more than 30 years ago.
