Iris van Herpen

Dutch designer Iris van Herpen is known for futuristic and innovative designs that blur the boundaries of art, technology, and fashion. She can be compared to Alexander McQueen, whose label she had experience working for before she started her namesake label in 2007. She often collaborates with artists and scientists, and her more conceptual garments have been seen in notable museums and exhibitions. Both the conceptual haute couture and slightly more wearable ready-to-wear line showcase some of today’s most forward-thinking designs, which represent the result of an unusual combination of traditional techniques and new technology.
