Introduction by Patricia Huisman:
From 3D-printed dresses to liquid-like silhouettes — in Iris van Herpen’s work, the line between fashion, art, and technology begins to blur. Her creations aren’t just garments; they’re sculptural forms that move, breathe, and evoke wonder.
During this talk, Patricia Huisman will take you behind the scenes of Van Herpen’s globally celebrated designs. Discover how she went from an attic in her hometown Wamel to the cutting-edge of haute couture in Paris.
