For contemporary fashion designer Iris van Herpen, technology is not an afterthought but central to her approach and vision. Her experimental designs have pushed the boundaries of textile thinking in fashion. The Dutch couturier, who is renowned for her extraordinary 3D printed dresses, focuses on the transformative power of technology. By experimenting and innovating, Van Herpen not only pushes the boundaries of fabric and craftsmanship but also the boundaries of couture. Such an emphasis on the material and process is crucial for her dress-object making. It is precise, carried out with the meticulous rigour of aesthetically motivated scientists, but there is a warmth there, a naturalness as seen in her shows such as Ludi Naturae from 2018. |
