Designer Inspired


Widely heralded as one of fashion’s most forward-thinking designers, Iris van Herpen discovered fashion for the first time in her grandmother’s attic, where she unearthed a mini-museum of garments and costumes that opened her eyes to another decade. Trained in classical ballet and throughout her career, the designer has been fascinated by fluidity and the entangled art of movement. Movement has propelled Ms. Iris Van Herpen’s design philosophy, where she sculpts garments, away from the body into multidimensional silhouettes. Van Herpen’s work is deeply embedded in nature. Its beauty, mystery and chaos are aspects that the designer draws inspiration from. Elements of water, air and earth and its translation into liquescent, diaphanous, or textural forms sculpt the celestial designs. Venturing into uncharted territories often means defying the parameters of disciplines, expanding Van Herpen’s interest into lesser-explored territories within nature such as the mycorrhizal network, sound waves, cymatic patterns, synapses, magnetism, symbiosis, voltage, or kinetic movement. Through biomimicry, the maison visualises and materialises the invisible forces that shape our world, perpetuating a deep sense of organic presence. “Those years of dance taught me so much about my body, the transformation of movement, the ‘evolution’ of shape, and how to manipulate both shape and movement. My interest in fashion were rooted in dance, in which I am now able to transform this kinaesthetic knowledge into new forms and materiality.” - Iris van Herpen
