Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren are leaving ready-to-wear collections, as already did Jean Paul Gaultier last season, to be focused more on haute couture, fragrances and licensed businesses. The decision was made jointly with majority shareholder OTB Group. Renzo Rosso, president of the OTB Group, said the move was “a strategic decision to position the Viktor & Rolf brand in the highest luxury segment of fashion.” After 14 years, the designers will present their last Fall/Winter 2015 womenswear collection this Paris fashion week, but will be absent from the runway.
