Iris van Herpen
"For me fashion is an expression of art that is very close related to me and to my body. I see it as my expression of identity combined with desire, moods and cultural setting.
In all my work I try to make clear that fashion is an artistic expression, showing and wearing art, and not just a functional and devoid of content or commercial tool. With my work I intend to show that fashion can certainly have an added value to the world, that it is timeless and that its consumption can be less important then its beginning. Wearing clothing can create a very exciting and imperative form of self-expression. 'Form follows function' is not a slogan with which I concur. On the contrary, I find that forms complement and change the body and thus the emotion. Movement, so essential to and in the body, is just as important in my work. By bringing form, structure and materials together in a new manner, I try to suggest and realize optimal tension and movement.”
A designer holandesa de 26 anos conta ja com 15 desfiles desde 2007 e não pára de surpreender e revolucionar.
Estagiou com a impetuosa casa Alexander McQueen e daí surge todo um futuro promissor e vanguardista no campos da moda e da tecnologia.
"Capriole" ou Cambalhota, é uma colecção apresentada em Paris propositadamente. Por ser uma das capitais da moda antiga e do elitismo clássico, Herpen escolhe este local para apresentar uma colecção preocupada com as mudanças globais e com o avanço tecnológico aplicado aos têxteis e á aplicação de distintos materiais de forma a "parecerem roupa".
Caracterizada pelos diferentes materiais e grafismos ilusórios, Capriole marca estatuto em 2011.
Parabéns ao trabalho de Iris.
