Viktor & Rolf is an Amsterdam-based fashion brand. The company was founded in 1993 by designers Viktor Horsting (born 1969) and Rolf Snoeren (born 1969). They are most well-known for their fantastical and concept-based designs and for their conceptually driven fashion show presentations. Subjects of their work include their analysis of fashion and the fashion industry, the idea of the fashion designer as a story-teller, transformation, illusions, empowerment, and their overt pursuit of international popularity. Characteristics of their clothes include layering, distortion, exaggeration and repetition of classical design elements (e.g. a blouse with 10 nested collars, an upside-down and lop-sided dress).

Their most well-known collection is the "Flowerbomb" collection, during which they launched their first fragrance with that name. Besides clothes, Viktor & Rolf produces women's shoes and hand bags (designed by Dutch designer and long-time-cooperator Fredie Stevens), glasses (Asia markets only), neckties, scarves, lingerie and fragrances. Viktor & Rolf have also worked as curators and participants on various international exhibitions, and have designed stage-outfits for several theatre productions.
