IRIS VAN HERPEN
Hybrid Holism
Dutch designer Iris Van Herpen, in collaboration with architect
Julia Koerner, has once again teamed up with Materialise and .MGX in the
creation of a stunning 3D printed dress as part of her “Hybrid Holism”,
Autumn/Winter 2012/2013 collection.
Unveiled during haute couture week in Paris, the 3D printed dress, which
one awestruck spectator compared to “liquid honey”, marked her and
Materialise’s third trip down the Paris catwalks. In 2011, Iris
collaborated with Materialise and .MGX in the creation of four pieces
for her critically acclaimed “Escapism” collection. And in 2012,
another sensational 3D printed piece was brought to life for the “Micro”
Collection.
Iris Van Herpen began her career in 2006 as an intern with Alexander
McQueen. Since starting her own label in 2007, she has picked up a
string of awards, has been elected a guest-member by the Chambre
Syndicale de la Haute Couture, has seen her clothing worn by
trend-setting celebrities such as Björk and Lady Gaga, and has had her
3D printed dresses named as one of the 50 Best Inventions of 2011 by
TIME Magazine.
