FASHION BABBLE: Iris van Herpen - Netherlands

"Escapism Couture"


Last week, during the Paris Fashion Week Haute Couture F/W 2011/2012 show, 27-year old Iris van Herpen debuted her futuristic, over the top designs. She employs unusual fine handwork techniques and equipment for her work with materials such as smoked leather, rubber, plastic, metal, and polyamidic powder. Deemed the highlight of Paris fashion week, her works reflect that of Alexander McQueen, seemingly defying gravity with nebulous shapes and unearthly composition.
