Is it art or is it fashion? Both, if it's got anything to do with Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren, clothing designers who have always kept a firm footing in both artistic spheres. Their latest work, a retrospective featuring all their collections since 1999, has taken a year and a half to come to fruition and has been personally overseen by the Dutch design duo. The Barbican exhibition features handcrafted eerily lifelike figures created by a Belgian doll-maker with real human hair wearing tiny but exact replicas of haute couture clothes featured on the Viktor & Rolf catwalk. As they point out scaled-down clothes and accessories are far harder to make than even a fashionable size ‘0'. The dolls are housed in a giant doll's house with each ‘room' depicting the theme or story behind each collection. I'd say it's art. Go see for yourself and make up your own mind.

The House of Viktor & Rolf runs until 21 September at the Barbican Art Gallery, www.barbican.org.uk/art gallery
