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.
