Dutch Profiles: Iris van Herpen

In her short career as a fashion designer, Iris van Herpen has already won numerous awards, and her collections have been enthusiastically received by the international fashion press.
What makes her work pop when she presents her creations during fashion weeks in New York, Paris and London, is the sculptural allure of her designs. Van Herpen achieves these strong silhouettes by rejuvenating traditional crafts and applying innovative and unusual materials.
In this way, Van Herpen produces designs that reinvent form. The process of making, of doing research, of expanding the professional know-how of the fashion discipline is one of the major goals of this talented designer.
Recently, Van Herpen collaborated with choreographer Nanine Linning to make the costumes for the opera Madame Butterfly. This German production sees Lanning integrate dance with the storyline, presenting Van Herpen with the challenge of combining movement with form.

I admire her for bringing Fashion to next level.

[@xXRubella666Xx]

Her voice is so soothing, lol. And her art is incredible.

[@Turtl3n1ps]

Oh god I jus wanna meet her and hug her forever. Such a wonderful inspiring woman and her clothing really is a work of art. She goes above and beyond with her designs

[@aquarius2284]

I never thought clothes could awaken any sort of emotions in people. But her clothes are emotional. They transcend space and time, and they're all out of this world, ethereal. You can see she has the thought patterns of a dancer. She focuses on movement, on gesture, on emotion. It's incredible and so inspiring to watch her creative process. As an illustrator I can only hope that one day I will be able to produce such graceful, fluid and ethereal silhouettes in my artwork. I'm fascinated by underwater photography and how materials like silk behave in water and air, and her designs remind me a lot of that.

[@esoto7251]

All my respect to this talented, pasioned and hard working woman... She is an artist!

[@oceanics.3597]

Her work is spectacular, that 3D print had me captivated the moment I saw it. The shapes and smooth rigid pattern is something I want to wear one day on the runway!

[@LetMeThink007]

[@cdfanto6094]

Amazing !!

[@suginami123]

She is wonderful. Her name. Does it mean from Harbin? I’m just guessing as she has a strong Asian look in her face and eyes. I lived in holland and many people have a name van Persie for example. Just a thought.
