IRIS VAN HERPEN Autumn/Winter 2018 Couture Collection

Dutch fashion designer Iris Van Herpen showcased her Autumn/ Winter 2018 couture collection in Paris.  This is what Iris had to say about her latest couture collection ''As a former dancer, the transformation within movement has hypnotized me. For this collection I looked closely at the minutiae of bird flight and the intricate echoing forms within avian motion. The artists studio drift inspired me to look more closely at the draping of a garment through chronophotography. By slowing down time into split seconds I started breaking down the usual draping of fabric, to then layer the milliseconds all slightly shifted, like the layering of a bird’s feather.’
