The spirit of neoteric fashion is embodied by the dynamic creativity of Iris Van Herpen designs.

Boasting a background in dance and education in fashion design, Iris Van Herpen is graced with the ability to take the tradition of couture to a new level by combining it with novel textile technology.

From dresses that resemble splashes of water to macabre mummy-inspired garments, the design ethos of Iris Van Herpen designs adheres to consistent modernization. With her ability to transforming the archaic, Iris Van Herpen stands out as a contributor to couture's renaissance.
