Fundada en 1993 por los diseñadores holandeses Viktor Horsting y Rolf Snoeren, Viktor&Rolf es reconocida mundialmente por su enfoque conceptual, teatral e innovador de la moda, que abarca Alta Costura, Prêt-à-Porter, Nupcial y Fragancias. Entre las colecciones más icónicas de la casa están Russian Doll (1999), Fashion Statements (Alta Costura Primavera/Verano 2019) y Late Stage Capitalism Waltz (Alta Costura Primavera/Verano 2023).

Junto con el continuo desarrollo de grandes exposiciones internacionales, incluyendo Viktor&Rolf: Fashion Artists 25 Years en Kunsthal Rotterdam, Fashion Statements en Kunsthalle Munich (2024) y el High Museum of Art en Atlanta (2025–2026), estos hitos resaltan la influencia duradera de la marca en el panorama mundial de la moda.

IM Mentorship Programme 

Istituto Marangoni Paris is proud to announce a new collaboration with Viktor&Rolf, the internationally renowned fashion house celebrated for its visionary approach and experimental creativity. Through this new Industry Project, students will tackle a real-world creative challenge under the mentorship of the brand’s founders, Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren.

The project will focus on the Spring/Summer 2028 Womenswear Ready-to-Wear collection. Fashion Design students will be invited to interpret Viktor&Rolf’s creative universe by developing a strong creative direction, designing three key-look prototypes, producing both digital and printed lookbooks, and imagining an innovative presentation concept for Paris Fashion Week that goes beyond the traditional runway show. The project will launch in November with an exclusive masterclass on the Paris campus led by Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren.

Together, they will introduce the house’s creative philosophy and present the project brief. Throughout the project, students will benefit from two online mentoring sessions with the Viktor&Rolf design team before presenting their final work in Paris to representatives of the maison. The collaboration also offers exceptional career opportunities, reflecting Viktor&Rolf’s commitment to nurturing emerging talent.

The winning student will be awarded an internship within the house’s RTW Bridal Design department in Amsterdam. In addition, all participants will receive privileged access to Viktor&Rolf’s upcoming Couture exhibition at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, in Paris. Two or three selected students will also have the opportunity to work backstage as dressers during the Spring/Summer 2027 Ready-to-Wear showroom in Paris from October.

« This collaboration reflects Istituto Marangoni Paris’ commitment to building strong connections with leading players in the fashion industry. Beyond its academic dimension, the project creates a meaningful dialogue between education and creative practice, giving students the opportunity to engage directly with Viktor&Rolf’s vision while exploring the future of ready-to-wear fashion. » Valérie Berdah-Levy, Chief Operating Officer - France & UK
