Darlings of the avant garde, the Dutch duo Viktor & Rolf have wowed the fashion and design worlds since the early '90s. In 2008, the designers created a three-story dollhouse with 55 miniature porcelain dolls (with each doll approximately two-feet tall) for a solo exhibition covering 15 years of their design work at the Barbican Art Gallery in London. Updated to include the past two years, a current show at Studio Job Gallery in Antwerp, on view through July 16, features one design from each of Viktor & Rolf's whimsical collections from the past 17 years.

Ron Galella »
Keeping up with the paparazzo extraordinaire
Ron Galella is the most famous — or infamous, depending on your point of view — photographer to ever capture celebrities on film. The pioneering paparazzo has made a living for more than 50 years by stalking stars and getting shots of them when they least expected it. He was sued by Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, punched by Marlon Brando, and beaten by Richard Burton's bodyguards. Now the subject of an award-winning documentary directed by Leon Gast, as well as two New York City solo exhibitions, the 79-year old photographer isn't showing any signs of slowing down.
