RADIATION INVASION
We are all surrounded by invisible radiation waves, a fact that is both frightening and very interesting according to the designer. What if, in the near future, we could see these radiation waves? Van Herpen draws inspiration from this theory and the ability to control (attract and reject) the radiation waves around our bodies. There is an underlying beauty to this whole new external dimension and van Herpen translates her fascination for radiation waves into a future beauty image.

“ I think that in the future people will find ways to be able to see radiation which will develop a new dimension apart from the body. Imagine we could attract and reject radiation waves as a magnet. “Being beautiful” will then get a totally new and more extended form” says Iris van Herpen.

THE COLLECTION
Iris van Herpen creates ten handmade looks, all asymmetrical making the garments come to life. The silhouette shows a clear “flow”, femininely body-conscious, and three-dimensional in black, silver and gold. Ecco’s innovative leather creates a porcelain effect. Van Herpen collaborates with artist Bart Hess in producing refined forms of spirals and high-tech material; an unprecedented approach.
