- 'Aeriform' examines the nature and anatomy of air and the idea of airborne materiality and lightness, creating negative and positive space with shadow and light.
Van Herpen also drew inspiration from the Danish underwater artists Between Music who challenge the relationship between the body and its elemental surround, in a subaquatic environment where air is absent.
"Their liquid voices and the subsonic darkness from Between Music overwhelmed me. It motivated me to dive into the contrasts between water and air, between inside and outside, between darkness and lightness."
Iris van Herpen
Between Music have collaborated with deep sea divers, physicists and neuroscientists over many years to develop a hypnotic biophonic sound sculpture which they perform on custom-built instruments while submerged in water. Their work transcends and transforms the conventional and natural relationship between our bodies and the elements.
"I’m doubly fascinated: I feel so free in the water - and at the same time I feel a slight hint of terror. Water is a fantastically exciting element because of its dual nature."
Leila Skovmand, Between Music
Air and water are the structural and visual components of the eighteen elaborate silhouettes of the collection and have influenced the development of both the textiles and garment construction, which is reflected in their volumes, rippling patterning and translucent layering.
Biomorphic structures include a feathery-light metal lace of geodesic floral patterns in collaboration with Philip Beesley, which float around the body like a silver cloud. Echo waves of mylar bonded cotton ripple across the skin mapping the surface of the body and painting its contours.
The shoes are made from a soft suede with a parametric welded metal heel, creating a delicate molecular lattice around the foot.

How can she even be such a huge genious? Pure art, all of it!
The couture in combination with the music... It just blows my mind
holy wow...it has been a long time since i felt so spellbound about clothing. in my dreams i dare to wish to wear the art that you make!
The most unique, exquisite and wearable designs I have seen for years. Look forward to seeing more in the near future.
I am sorry but I have to plead guilty of getting hypnotized by so much beauty and ignoring the people drowning 🤣🤣😎
Did they actually hold their breath for about 4 minutes while singing and playing instruments 😱😱
The whole scenery was just perfectly matching with the dresses which are fantastic. It just looks mystical and the materials seem so well made
Totally love what you're doing
Pure art.
Love the fluid lines.
Love your style Iris Van Herpen! Beautiful. I would love
Allllllll of the feels!😲😲😲😲😲🤯
服だけじゃなくショーも個性的で素晴らしいと思う。
What a great designer!!
This is so amazing, truly wearable art!! So creative even with the musicians playing under water!
La multidimensionalidad, el arte, la belleza, y el diseño de modas fusionados en uno mismo ✨🔮💜
Forever loving this White Iris.
Je ne sais pas quoi dire , c'est tellement beau .
so beautiful
love
how do the musicians breathe in water?
It's a band called 'Between Music'. They've trained themselves to hold their breath for a minute or more. :)
Mindblown!
It's make me feel like I want to be there 💜💜💜
ideal para los xv años
Does anyone happen to know what the music is?
outer body experience
fucking hell
this woman is magical !
Does anyone else feel like models can't really do justice to her clothes? Maybe it's the high heels, but the clothes look more fluid and graceful than their walking, so it only works in slow motion footage? Perhaps IVH should use dancers, since she understands form with motion so well.
I thought the same, but it's not the model's fault, of course
@@sinamuller4312 no of course not. I blame the shoes myself. These clothes don't need the strained arches of heels, you could let them go barefoot or in ballet pumps maybe
кайф
This is more disturbing than all the Saw movies put together
Just think she still is not able to create what she sees in her minds eye, what she really wants us to see. Technology isn’t that advanced yet.
This made me pretty uncomfortable
Insta-muted the sound
The chrome dresses are the finest fashion in the world
That "music" was so bad, it ruined the show for me. It messed up my ears so bad, I couldn't use my eyes. What a mess! I'll never be the same again.
We’ve got ourselves a drama queen.
Give them a break, they’re singing and playing instruments under water.
Terrible Terrible Terrible
Ew what’s wrong with you?
