92 CENTIMETERS | Combining design with technology, Dutch couturier Iris Van Herpen’s fantastical dresses are initially planned in Photoshop. She then works with an architect to develop a 3-D model, which is printed onto a polymer over the course of a week, resulting in a ready-to-wear dress that is an exact replica of the original sketched version. Van Herpen — who recently designed the dress Bjrk wears on the cover of her new album, Biophilia — presented her printed dresses during Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week this January.

The New Craftsmanship: Iris van Herpen and her Inspiration
27-year-old Dutch fashion designer Iris van Herpen creates stunning designs with a sculptural allure. She has already won numerous awards, her collections have been received with great enthusiasm by the international fashion press, and pop icon Lady Gaga is a huge fan. But when van Herpen revealed Capriole – her Fall/Winter 2011-2012 collection – on a Paris runway this summer, it didn’t take long before someone dared to call her “the next Alexander McQueen”.
It doesn’t stop there though. For the upcoming exhibition ‘Industrial Revolution 2.0: How the Material World will Newly Materialise’, curator Murray Moss selected two of her pieces to be on display in the world’s greatest museum of art and design: the V&A in London. You’d better be fast to visit the event because it opens the 17th of September and already closes on the 25th of September.
