The Iris Van Herpen exhibit will be showcased at the International Centre for Lace and Fashion in Northern France.
It will showcase the forward-thinking designs of the couturier whose claim to prominence in fashion has come from her ability to consistently create wearable art. Just this last spring, her VOLTAGE Collection turned heads with its textural garments created with 3D printing technology.
Thirty pieces by the renowned artist created during the time frame between 2008 to 2012 will be presented chronologically and accompanied by runway footage. The Iris Van Herpen exhibit will focus on the creator's foray into exploring the relationship between clothing and the human form. Visitors are sure to be delighted by the sculptural nature and intricacy of the Dutch designer's oeuvre.
