Iris van Herpen ~ Meta Morphism
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лип 2022
- At Paris Haute Couture Week 2022, Iris van Herpen celebrates the fifteenth anniversary of the Maison with ‘Meta Morphism’.
Holding a lens to our intangible identities and shifting society with the metaverse and hyperreality at the horizon, this collection explores the depths of the body in posthuman realities.
With the new realms of our digital lives expanding, we are faced with an eternally rhetorical question: who are we beyond our physical bodies? Is the digital you shaping your pre-existing com- pass?
Through 'Meta Morphism’, Van Herpen expresses the body as an elusive system, rooted in transcience and speaks to a greater message of introspection.
The leitmotif of van Herpen’s history expresses the body in a state of permanent flux, metamorphosing with the milieu, and while the Maison is regarded for its futuristic approach, this season the designer reflects on Ovid's magnus opus poem ‘Metamorphoses’.
At the time of Ovid’s writing, the act of metamorphosis was appreciated in relation to humanity and its place amongst nature, yet Ovid’s retelling exists a relevance today, navigating the ramifications of technology that is constantly complicating the definition of identity. With the ability to recreate our digi- tal twins, the space of soul-searching, losing a sense of self, and finding new realities, are life lessons.
The collection examines the ancient visions of Ovid’s mythology through modern themes of transhumanism, where man and technology ex- ist in eternal fluctuation, thus defying classification, allowing us to question the limits of our self. Resounding the thematic tensions between artifice and nature, the collection is built around three myths, the story of Arachne; the story of Narcissus and finally the story of Daphne and Apollo.
The tragedy of Arachne is translated in fine laces that are gradient dyed and trapped in embroidered webs, causing the trapped spiderwebs to float. Other looks are designed as if Arachne is still weaving them, hundreds of unspun threads float and spin around the body.
The second myth behind the collection evinces the story of Narcissus, who falls in love with his own reflection, slowly languishing to death through self-obsession. The translucent layering and reflective textures of growth in this collection speak to a greater message of introspection. Transparent voluminous drapes echo around the body like ghosts, creating patchworks of shadows, designed to turn inwards on ourselves. Accents of dark blues and amethysts, ochres, metallic silvers and copper intersect the lucid palette. The ‘Narcissus’ gown and coat express the power of self-creation and the contradiction of how self-obsession can ultimatrly cause loos- ing your sense of self.
The allusion to Daphne and Apollo is betokened through the finale look, embodying the very moment that Daphne transforms into a laurel tree, while the 'Glitched Growth' dress and other looks mimic the alternate stages of Daphne’s metamorphoses, diffusing the creation of plant and bone structures growing together. These looks are designed around body objectification and imagine future metaverse hybrids of Daphne’s myth in which the body is boundlessly transformed and where man and nature are indistinguishable.
In keeping with the Maison’s collaborative spirit, this season, Iris van Herpen partners with sculptor Casey Curran, bequething a prospective statue of a future Daphne, bursting from the centre of the runway. Daphne’s sculpture transforms through herbose creatures blooming from her skeleton, at her chest appears a large crevice, revealing her mechanical heart pulsating inside, pertaining to the notion that the elusiveness of identity means that nothing can perish.

This collection looks like something fantasy game character would wear. They’re so stunning
IKR!
That was my first thought exactly! I got major Kim Hyun Te vibes.
Yeah, that's her thing.
exactly! they look like warriors to me. beautiful.
They are delicate, transcendental, futuristic and just breathtaking.
I love how she takes inspiration from nature, but not just the more romanticized or well-known parts of it. Most of the models looked like they were shedding some older skin, like how many insects molt, into something more mature and beautiful. Absolutely loved the blue-indigo color of that one dress 😍💙
the "false faces" to deter predators, long tentacles or maybe tendrils... I'm blown away, it's amazing!
I saw some really strong inspiration from exoskeletons, insects wings and human bones as well.
Yes, they had a gothic skeletal quality to them, which as at the same time beautiful, but also menacing. I love it.
I love how her works are both modern and feminine. That’s something you rarely see.
This is art in the truest sense.
You don't watch a lot of fashion or don't keep up with it... That or you don't understand what these types of shows are supposed to be.
@@klausd.6285 That was needlessly aggressive.
I agree. Whatever elements she uses to create her art on the runway, it's always feminine.
Iris' work will be studied by fashion and art students in the future, I really think she will be heralded as one of the most influential designers of our generation.
Gorgeous, breathtaking, and thought-provoking as always.
I went to one of her expositions with my fashion class, I think ten years ago.
She is definitely in the same league as McQueen and Galliano.
No she wont . Look interresting doesnt chang that its still Junk . Its wast o f cloth
jealously jealousy
@@xythiera7255 tell that to Virginie Viard lmao, she made chanel the most boring, stiff, lacklustre company i have ever seen in my life
I'm not a fan of fashion parades or designer clothes, but this collection is AMAZING!! They look like futuristic humans wearing alien skins on their bodies, absolutely fascinating and so creatively made! Like watching a sci fi cast ♥️
I love her. I hope to be cool enough to wear one of her pieces one day. She's incredible. Her designs are incredible. They make me feel like I'm watching a Star Trek episode (that's a really good thing!!!)
I think u are cool enough to wear one of her pieces. I think the price for one of these masterpieces will be a problem 😅
@@f.l.0.h Thank you :) Yeah if I can get el money I would totally buy. She's a fantastic human.
You don’t have to be cool. You just need to have the money
Exactly!! Her designs are straight out of a fantasy, Sci-fi world, I love them
@@Bigb00bs_umchileanywaysso prob u need to have the height too 🤷🏽♂ doubt this high fashion clothes are made in non-super model sizes
If fairies/sprites were real and had a fashion show in this era, it would look like this. In an era when haute couture has practically become a comedy, I'm glad that real artistry still exists. Fantastic work!
Totally agree. 100%
I have always loved Iris van Herpen. This is the only opportunity where we can use ethereal and sculptural in the same sentence to describe her work. Truly a blacksmith of garments.
What a beautiful show. When I see Iris at the end, I can’t help but yell out, “we love you sister”. What an amazing spirit and contributor to art, beauty and love.
Sister? Huh?
@@Jeremiah13tears whats so confusing lol
These designs are amazing! The girls are literally walking art installations. Nobody compares to Iris!
The truest intersection between art, technology and fashion.
This collection took my breath away. Each outfit could be looked at for hours because of how wonderfully intricate the are. The orange and copper dress with the corset of golden metal was just wonderful especially with those rose gold -flame heels. It’s just spectacular.
Wearing a Iris van Herpen dress=Goddess mode activated. Her designs are pure art!
🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 AMAZING!!!!! The "jumpsuits were BREATHTAKING!!!! The "coat" that Winnie Harlow wore was STUNNING!!! Iris always brings drama and emotion to her shows. And she never disappoints. 😌😌😌
Yeah ,the coat so stunning 🔥
I would definitely show up at a red carpet with that coat!!!!
This is every MMO's late game mage armor. I can't express with words how happy it makes me.
I love the striking similarities between this collection and the patterns in nature, like on insects and other creatures hence the name which I think meant metamorphosis. I remember observing these exact patterns, the smallest of details on insects, closely and I am amazed how accurately they were able to depict it. And they absolutely nailed every little detail. Insane!
Yes!!!
Her work reminds me of angel wings, all carefully redesigned to make a masterpiece. Can you imagine walking down the aisle in a wedding gown she created…her work is so fluid…almost entrancing.
Honestly, I loved her 'ocean inspired' a bit more- but I LOVE how she's willing to try new things, push her envelope. Know she will continue to grow and change as time goes by, it is going to be a joy to watch!
Jaw dropping! No one comes close to Iris. 💯🏆💯
I watched the show, read the description, and then watched it again, amazing how intriguing and gorgeous they are on their own and then are brought to a whole new light when you learn the inspirations behind them. Beautiful work as always and a designer I will always be looking up to!
Have been waiting to see IVH Couture show !!!! And YES~~~~ Iris herself and all IVH group always bring the best show !!!!!
Fashion out of this world, designs&the models look so beautiful! Also great camera work and editing 💗💗
This entire collection is stunningly captivating. Every single piece.
Absolutely stunning and so inspirational! I can’t imagine the kind of attention to detail and craftsmanship it must take to achieve these looks in real life.
This is a magnificent collection! I love Art Nouveau endlessly and these garments are each a work of art. Makes me happy whenever I see a new Iris van Herpen collection released, the fashion, the music, the filming are all over the top wonderful. Thank you 💖
She is easily my favorite designer ever. She isn't Avant Garde she's Avant L'epoque!
That's a beautiful phrase!
A fantastic collection presented beautifully! I loved the choice of models, how naturally some of them walked and how beautifully they were styled. The gowns themselves are to die for (I left the biggest praise for last) and I cannot get over the fact that I will never wear one, or even come close to be able to making one.
I love your work Iris. Phenomenal. You really are divinely inspired
So ethereal! I am speechless thank you Iris for sharing your talent with us. The world is a better place to have you in it.
A masterpiece! I didn't want it to end - best couture show I've seen in ages what a delight to the senses!
Each collection is pushing the boundaries of excellence, thank you Iris van Herpen 🤯
Your work is unreal! I had never seen it and I am taken aback by the perfection of your fabrics and the symmetry of your design. The perfect flow and movement. Amazing work!
still the most mind blowing collection i have ever seen, every detail is so tuned to the top🕊💛congratulations✨
One word MESMERIZING!!! Iris never disappoints
Your work ceases to amaze me. You truly are a visionary Iris, you inspire me in my own art. The way you demonstrate flow within your pieces is truly mesmerizing. Found you about 4 years ago, been entranced by your work ever since seriously. Keep it up you awesome human!
screaming with excitement , everything was so breathe taking and beautiful , hard to choose fav look cause each garment was so beautiful and a statement peace in its own, you did that Iris Van Herpen ❤️🔥🙌🏾✨
I loved everything about this! Music, sculpturesque forms, hair, makeup, accessories and just overall intergalactic vibe. That sculpture piece on the stage almost made it feel like an object of worship. So stunning! Bravo👏👏
So awesome to see Ms Herpen! Please keep doing, what you do...!
(Im gonna get of the these beauties one day..)
Omg, this is my cup of tea sooo beautiful! I could cry 😭
The two pieces with faces look like a collaboration with the artist Quibe. So beautiful.
I love how she include all her staff at the end . 👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️what a Kind move😘😘😘😘
I will forever support this by watching this channel it's worth to watch I love her designs words can't express how truly amazed I am with all her piece
I am so glad and happy to see your back on the fashion scene
Thank you for your vision
Absolutely stunning! So many special moments. Thank you for sharing your creativity
This what i call a real fashion designer 😎
I love how you can look at them and be "oh, they're actually still clothes". The type of custom that just fits so seamlessly. It's weird, it's new, it's enchanting. The clothes are eye catching but they don't make you disregard the person wearing them. The designs don't make you feel like they're over the top at all and in fact appear seemingly minimal despite what your eyes are seeing. Beautiful set this time again.
I had to literally stop and gasp at 2:51! And 3:42. It's not just the designs, it's also the choreography, the ambience, the OST and the video editing of this whole show for me. It's so immersive, SO hypnotic. Such beauty transforms the mind!
Estou chocado com tamanha perfeição dessa coleção!!!!
I like that this fashion really feels like art. Such a cool collection!
This is the best collection I've ever seen. It's full of pure creativity and incredible magic feelings!!!
The colors play off of and work with each gorgeous skin tone so stunningly! FINALLY seeing art in motion!
Almost ignites a positive fever dream. Imagining the possibilities, how it will be worn, how it was made, the balance that had to be struck by listening to the inner voice whilst creating it. Loved all the pieces, can't wait to see more of it and more to come.
These models deserve so much credit for their work here. These outfits probably aren't easy and all to walk a runway in, and they make it look so natural!
Also it's already been said, but dang the designs are cool. The way these ideas are incorporated into the clothing strikes a perfect balance--abstract, but still recognizable. Ovid's a favorite of mine, and I love the way ideas from his writing are incorporated here. It's just super creative, and fun to witness.
Iris Van Herpen takes my breathe away with every new collection! I envy her creativity💛💛
Brava! An absolutely stunning collection from start to finish. Iris van Herpen creates magic like no other with through her use of technology, materials, and unparalleled creativity. Praise and appreciation extended to Iris van Herpen as she celebrates the fifteenth anniversary of the Maison with ‘Meta Morphism’. Brava!
Fantastic collection, music, and models. This was 100 % proper. Will done!
My favorite designer did it again! Amazing pieces
I love the practical impracticality of these works: like they could be reformed for everyday wear instead of pure haute couture, but still be couture. Just a beautiful show all around. :D
Now this is what I pictured 2022 would look like. We’ve been waiting! Love it.
This is the first video of yours I have seen and I just now discovered your channel.
Magnificent.
Beautiful.
Stunningly Spectacular. 🖤💜💙🤍💛
