Iris Van Herpen

Escapism

I love how far the sculptural and intricate elements of Van Herpen's work has been stretched. Her work is inspirational to my project because it uses the idea of covering up the shape of some parts of the body and leaves other parts visible or at least highlighted. they also seem stiff, like they are only there to describe the form and to suggest shapes on the body without thinking how these would become practical garments.
