Iris Van Herpen


Iris Van Herpen is one of the most forward thinking designers within the fashion industry, I believe this as after the Sally Denton talk, as she highlighted the major effect that 3D printing is going to have on the future of fashion. Van Herpen has curated this 'Bio piracy' collection, which asks the question 'are we still the sole perpetrator of our bodies?' this collection was put together with the help of Lawrence Malstaff who concentrates on the interaction between biology and physicality, this is something my group and I would like to make a connection between. Another interesting aspect of this collection is their 'vacuum packed' concept, creating an embryonic environment for the model, literally by vacuum packing them. I find it interesting that even though 3D printing is not completely fully established yet, the collection remains high end and does not lack in quality, as a group we would like to create inspiration for a high end market, I will keep the Iris Van Herpen brand in mind when constructing the trend book.
