Iris van Herpen is a Dutch fashion designer known for fusing technology with traditional haute couture and craftsmanship.
Van Herpen graduated from the ArtEZ University of the Arts in Arnhem in 2006 and interned at Alexander McQueen in London.
By combining handcraft, technology and the art of couture, van Herpen curates progressive and experimental fashion experiences with a highly conceptual approach.
Van Herpen burst onto the scene in 2007 with her unusual approach to applying innovative 3D printing techniques to her clothing designs.
Most notably, the Dutch designer was one of the first to present 3-D-printed dresses in both static and flexible forms on the runway, in a collaboration with the Belgian company Materialise.
Fusing together technology and Haute Couture craftsmanship, Van Herpen’s unusual approach to design has earned her a unique and loyal following.
Van Herpen works in collaboration with experts from other industries in the fields of science, technology and architecture.
This allows her to bring together her expertise in fashion with other areas to create something truly unique.
Each creation makes such an overwhelmingly beautiful and creative statement.

Yes! That’s what I thought when I came across her work. A lot of unique art is not “practical” — but that’s the fun of featuring unique art. It allows us to dream with no boundaries!

Pretty and definitely art but not really wearble I think, they can’t even dance with their partner in those dresses. But on the catwalk they’ll look spectacular !
