Iris van Herpen is one of today’s most original fashion designers, boldly combining fashion, design, technology and science. Starting in May, visitors to the Dallas Museum of Art will be able to see 14 of her ensembles up close. New Yorkers can see one of her dresses at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s exhibit “Masterworks: Unpacking Fashion” through February 5th. This article written by Becky Chung for The Creators Project shows some pieces from one of her more recent ready-to-wear collections “Magnetic Motion”:
“The designer deftly used futuristic techniques including injection molding, laser cutting, and 3D printing to create the romantic-futuristic collection; this is clothing that looks like wearable architecture. For Magnetic Motion, van Herpen even “grew” some accessories herself, by manipulating magnetic metal-laden materials. ”
