Fanny Eaton (1861) Fine Art Print by Joanna Boyce Wells
Viktor&Rolf: Cover Cover
by Irma Boom
NO. 46007
A celebration of Viktor & Rolf’s playful and imaginative designs, which have often been compared to works of art. Designed by Irma Boom, the book “Viktor & Rolf: Cover Cover” is a dramatic expression of the designers’ work. The book is made of eight gatefolds (pages that fold out to reveal additional material on the inside). Each is created in accordance with a specific theme or element of the show – whether it’s a model’s hair or the lighting of a set – and photographed and reproduced in black-and-white. The result is an homage to the spectacle of fashion, and a tribute to the craft of bookmaking.

In 1993, while working as apprentices for designers such as Martin Margiela, Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren began their career in Paris. The two men attracted attention with their conceptual designs, winning praise from critics. In 1998 Horsting and Snoeren launched the Viktor & Rolf label, which has since become known for its concept-driven catwalk collections that delight in the spectacle and performance of the show.
“One questions how a fashion house famous for its ability to transform – and transform in ways that are theatrical, experimental and 3-dimensional – could be distilled into a book. Irma Boom’s Viktor&Rolf: Cover Cover […] does not leave you questioning for long. The acclaimed Dutch graphic designer performs her own transformation in the expansive tome, reinventing the very concept of a book in order to bring Viktor&Rolf to life on the page, employing the same principles of wit, experimentation and rule-breaking that the fashion designers employ on the runway… Viktor&Rolf: Cover Cover reads as a true collaboration: a partnership between two experimental designers to transform the three-dimensional into the two-dimensional without losing the essence of the art. Each project has been reimagined in Cover Cover, transforming a fashion universe into one of graphic design. With each read there is more to discover. As the book declares in the front cover, both as means to introduce and challenge: ‘This book invites you to discover the method in the madness’.” — Wallpaper.com
