Say I Do In Viktor And Rolf

Viktor & Rolf have unveiled their first bridal collection. The six-piece Marriage capsule range forms part of the new pre-spring/summer 2014 collection.

While the Dutch duo - Viktor Horsting and Ralf Snoeren - have created one-off and special occasion wedding dresses in the past, this is their first dedicated bridalwear collection - and as you can expect from a pair renowned for their experimental and often avant-garde collections, it's not aimed at the traditional bride-to-be. From a short shirt dress with flowing train, to a sleek stretch crepe jumpsuit or a strapless mini dress with ruffled hem - the range comprises six very distinct and different styles.

"We've always loved designing bridal wear because a wedding dress is a garment with a lot of meaning and emotions attached to it," Horsting and Snoeren told us. "The wedding dress is the ultimate clothing icon."

While the silhouettes may be more suited to the experimental bride, the colour palette remains traditional-with every piece in either white or ivory. The pair hinted that we should expect more capsule collections dedicated to specific pieces - like the wedding dress - in coming seasons.

"We love playing with iconic garments, such as the white shirt, the little black dress and the trench coat," they told us. "We dedicate special capsules to these wardrobe favourites of ours. They provide the perfect frame for a lovely, surreal play on their existing codes, offering a new and fresh outlook."
