Viktor & Rolf is making a return to ready-to-wear, bringing its avant-garde couture sensibilities to everyday fashion with the fall/winter 2025 ready-to-wear collection.

Drawing inspiration from their Fall/Winter 2024 Haute Couture collection, ‘Haute Abstraction’, the designers translate high-fashion drama into wearable silhouettes. Sharp tailoring, signature detailing, and rich textures define the collection, blending structured precision with practical elements like denim and a collaboration with heritage outerwear brand Mackintosh.

Intricate couture elements, such as delicate tulle ruffles, seamlessly integrate into the collection, elevating essentials like jeans and jackets with sculptural volume. Standout pieces include tailored balloon trousers in Japanese tuxedo wool and a relaxed denim variation.

The color palette transitions from deep, moody tones of black, grey, and dark berry to lighter accents of white, mint, and sky-blue denim. A classic beige hue, ‘golden fawn,’ appears in gabardine daywear, reinforcing Viktor & Rolf’s commitment to timeless wardrobe essentials.

Textures play a key role, with a blend of Italian silk satin, Japanese tuxedo wool, silk-viscose floral jacquard, mohair, superfine alpaca knits, and organic cotton denim. The collection’s layered, duplicated, and deconstructed elements echo signature techniques from Viktor & Rolf’s archival collections, including Spring/Summer 2002’s ‘White’ and Fall/Winter 2003’s ‘One Woman Show’.

“Shifting from couture to ready-to-wear was about designing for real life. Viktor & Rolf wanted to keep the bold shapes and craftsmanship of couture but make them effortless. Everyday life is full of contrasts – moving through different spaces and situations that define us. It’s not about losing bold expression but using it to elevate the ordinary,” the Amsterdam-based fashion house said in a statement. 

The collection launches with a campaign that unfolds against the streets of Paris, captured by Alessandro Furchino Capria.
