3D printed couture




(these remided me of your work, walker)

Iris van Herpen’s collection expresses her own concept of the ‘escapism’ – “something viewed as the exaggerations and excesses that result of the digital age, and are eagerly swallowed by the public in general. It’s all about how people find their own ways to reject reality through entertainment addictions.” Iris presents a future that is “a mix of nature blended with technology, her imaginary hereafter is not the usual space age that we see as our future.” The whole collection is about “mixing craftsmanship, unsung old forgotten techniques and innovation involving the procedure of rapid prototyping. The ability of melting both the past and the future of fashion together into something new is a recurrent theme.” via i.materialise blog
