I have never seen a fashion house so ahead of its peers in the rise of AR and digital fashion. Iris van Herpen has shown that she is not only a fan of the futuristic style but she is leading the way in innovation and developing fashion of the future. "The collection is very future-oriented, inspired by post-humanism, by transforming identities, the metaverse, but also hyperreality, where digital reality and physical reality are becoming indistinguishable.”
My favorite pieces from this collection:
Her 2022 Fall Couture leaves its viewers constantly engaged, each step down the runway provides a new angle into the living art. Van Herpen truly reminds us that high fashion is an art, it generates vast emotions and curiosity into the how and why.
As a budding designer it excites me to see there are known names paving a way for the future of fashion. The Netherlands based designer was heard saying, “Couture is where my heart is. For me, technology is a tool that makes it possible to bring the craftsmanship forward.” Her open embrace for technology is one we can only hope other couture designers will adopt as we look for more creative and ethical production within fashion.
