Normal rules don't apply…
Dutch designer Iris van Herpen graduated in Fashion design and interned at Alexander McQueen in London. Since July 2011, she became a guest member of the prestigious Parisian Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture, which is part of the Federation francaise de la couture.
In her work she mixes craftsmanship and innovation in technique and materials. She creates a modern view on Haute Couture that combines fine handwork techniques with futuristic digital technology. Van Herpen forces fashion to the extreme contradiction between beauty and regeneration. It is her unique way to reevaluate reality and to express and underline individuality.
Van Herpen’s decision to explore the rapid prototyping technology of 3D printing allowed her to be the first to introduce this technology in fashion, and to create astonishing designs with it. Van Herpen became fascinated with the endless design potential of 3D printing. In recent collections she further developed her prints by adding detailed handwork.
