‘Burgundian black’ haute couture collection by fashion design duo Victor & Rolf

Dutch fashion design duo Victor & Rolf teamed up with textile artist Claudy Jongstra for the making of Viktor & Rolf’s AW19 Couture collection. The coats – sharp, theatrical silhouettes – are all burgundy black, a natural dye which Jongstra, together with the Artechne project, has spent the last year rediscovering, decoding recipes that date back to the 15th and 16th centuries. Read more about this collaboration on our Burgundian Black page and in this article in Vogue magazine.
