For the first time in 13 years, Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren will show a couture collection in Paris this Summer.

For the first time in 13 years, Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren will show a couture collection in Paris this Summer.

According to WWD, France's Chambre Syndicale — the body that governs the nation's fashion industry — voted last week to allow Viktor & Rolf to show on the Fall 2013 couture calendar in July. The last time the brand created couture was in July 2000, when it presented its Bells collection, seen above. Whether the two will stage one of the theatrical shows they're known for or will schedule private appointments remains to be seen.

Viktor & Rolf Fall 2012

>> It was a sexy play between extremes for Viktor & Rolf's Fall 2012 collection — think deeply covered vs. utterly exposed.
Viktor and Rolf Runway 2012 Fall

>> It was a sexy play between extremes for Viktor & Rolf's Fall 2012 collection — think deeply covered vs. utterly exposed. Fur dominated, but it was often set against sheer fabrics, used on trim on lingerie-inspired dresses, or even snaking down a glamorous off-the-shoulder evening gown. Where fur was the main attraction, it was sliced and trimmed à la Edward Scissorhands, lending a quirky beauty. The rest of the collection received Viktor & Rolf's signature off-kilter perspective, where classic silhouettes are never what they seem — pleats, slits, and trims were cut in surprising spots (back instead of front), fringe was paired with ruffles, pants were oversize, cuffs extended; it was a glamorous collection for the woman who never wants to look like anyone else.

Fashion Week officially kicks off today, but the celebrations began last night — and Dutch designers Viktor & Rolf hosted an explosively good party. The duo held a bash in New York to celebrate their first scent, Flowerbomb, which turns five this year. Models Erin Wasson and Shalom Harlow were among the guests, all of whom were treated to a intimate backyard performance by Alison Goldfrapp. As for the heady floral scent, it's been a best-seller since its launch. "We live in Amsterdam and we bike a lot. When you pass someone, it's very noticeable," Viktor Horsting said. "I'm always very happily surprised because it's so recognizable." Still turning heads after five years.

Though it's tough to replicate a Viktor & Rolf — you can't mess with perfection — Jessica Alba looked too damn good to pass up.

Though it's tough to replicate a Viktor & Rolf — you can't mess with perfection — Jessica Alba looked too damn good to pass up. At last night's seventh annual Global Green Pre-Oscars Party, the beauty wore a V&R draped ivory dress with a sassy little leather bow belt. Tasty accessories like suede cage Casadei sandals, a metallic python clutch, and a spiked leather bracelet, take her Viktor & Rolf dress beyond.
