Viktor&Rolf Spring-Summer 2026 Haute Couture “Diamond Kite” Collection

Paris, France - January 2026 - Viktor&Rolf Spring/Summer 2026 collection, Diamond Kite, a collection that is less runway show and more like live art through a performance. The presentation aligned with the House’s long-standing commitment to couture as both fashion and art.

The show opened up with a series of architectural black dresses that were seen as the ultimate “blank canvas.” Throughout the performance, designers Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren appeared on stage to remove elements and attach them to other looks, transforming each outfit in real time.

As the show went on, each “blank canvas” added singular vibrant accents that ranged from neon bows and exaggerated panniers. The elements were detached from one look and put onto another. By moving these colorful elements across different silhouettes, the designer demonstrated the fluid nature of high fashion.

With this collection, Viktor&Rolf proved that a single garment is never truly “finished.” Using performance and transformation to explore fashion as a living is a form of expression that is evolving. Each moment of this performance embodied the values of aspiration, movement and freedom that Viktor&Rolf were going for with their Diamond Kite collection.
