Featuring visionary Dutch fashion designer Iris van Herpen, the opening programme of Iris van Herpen: Sculpting the Senses discusses her multidimensional approach to creation and the idea of transformation that informs her work.
Whether drawing from the intricate web of nature, the structural philosophy of living architecture or the fluid anatomy of the body, the vision of Van Herpen encircles the metamorphoses of the body. Join us in conversation with one of the most forward-thinking designers of our time, as we delve into how Van Herpen has created a body of work that continues to defy expectations, evolving and forging new ideas and inspirations that are based both in nature and in visions of the contemporary world.
Presented as a programme of Mind and Body: The Art and Science of Being Human, an exploration of what it means to think, feel, and exist as human beings.
