Abstract

Iris van Herpen has earned a reputation as a pioneering technologist and has pushed the boundaries of form technique. Van Herpen, who experimented with previously unexplored methods, challenged haute couture traditions from time to time with modern machines such as three-dimensional printing and gave best samples of techno-couture concept. Since 2011, Herpen has presented a number of collections in collaboration with scientists, artists and architects. His work is exhibited by cultural institutions such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and academic institutions such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In the designs of Iris Van Herpen, it is noteworthy that the technology meets the traditional. In our age, where technology is used for rapid production, Herpen has adopted a different approach to apparel and fabrics by combining technology with craftsmanship. Van Herpen combines conceptual and postmodernist perspectives, combining designs and practices with tradition.
