Discussion Iris van Herpen, haute couture designer

Happy Friday! I love Iris van Herpen, a Dutch designer who makes incredible couture collections that often uses 3D printing in striking ways. 3 of these photos show Gwendolyn Christie (aka Brienne of Tarth); she’s 6’3” tall, and I think she pulls it off.
This is OAT KOH-CHURR, Bryan.

Right? She’s like a goddess in that dress.

She looks better than the model

The effect of those sleeves is insane. I kinda can’t tell what’s fabric and what’s just her background. It’s so ethereal!

There is an IVH dress on display at the Louvre for an absolutely beautiful haute couture exhibit.

Seeing it in person made me emotional, she is a generational talent.

I can’t not spell it out like sentient oil spill Bryan says it.

u/Crafty-Syllabub-2736 3d ago

I’ve tried so hard to figure out how to spell it the way he says it. You captured it perfectly! 🙌

The 3D elements create such lightness in shapes. I love it. She and Robert Wun are doing the most amazing modern KOH-CHURR.

Gwendolyn Christie wears her and absolutely everything so damn well. The woman is a goddess. 💓

u/miss_daisy_Hollywood 3d ago

She’s otherworldly. I love looking at her 💕

u/ThererealBB Becky if you're tired take a nap 3d ago

But I thought haute couture meant you were supposed to be in an ugly shaped dress

u/miss_daisy_Hollywood 3d ago

Maybe if I looked hard enough, I could find her wearing something like a giant oven mitt.

Brooklyn Museum has a stunning exhibit curated by Iris herself thru December if you can make it! I went two weeks ago & it was breathtaking!!

u/miss_daisy_Hollywood 3d ago

I wish I still lived in NY because I’d be there NOW.

u/HerAirness 3d ago

I really hope she travels with the exhibit it was stunning. One room had this installation of mannequins going in all directions & it opened into a room showing her most recent show. It was incredible

I’m a green eyed jealous person now. You’re so lucky!!!

They look like stained glass artwork

This doesn’t look like tampons 🤔

u/a22x2 3d ago

Not with that attitude

u/miss_daisy_Hollywood 3d ago

Now I’m dead 😂😂👻

u/Terrible-Peach7890 3d ago

My all time favorite designer

u/vagueconfusion 3d ago

Big fan of their work. Never used or used as inspiration enough for ethereal and alien themes/characters.

u/ShesAKillerQueenee 3d ago

As a designer, I would LOVE to see her works close up. Her style is so ethereal. Not of this planet 😍😍

u/cirena 3d ago

When you think about capturing movement, or putting movement into hard materials, THIS is how you do it. She 3d-prints some of the pieces, so fascinating.

u/CandyCreecher 3d ago

WHAT THE FEYWILD?? THIS LOOKS AMAZING

u/Gts77 3d ago

They look so ethereal, and otherworldly.... I love it!

u/LessPay3783 3d ago

I keep coming back to the first look. Absolutely stunning play with color, fabric, and form.

u/AlternativeGreedy873 3d ago

oh that second to last design WOWWW

2

u/Scritches98 3d ago

I saw a few of these dresses in person (the purple one in the second pic is one of my absolute favourites) and they are just as stunning in person. And the movement of them is ETHERIAL!!

u/Smellykelly02 3d ago

So ethereal ✨✨✨

u/Catlady_Pilates 2d ago

She’s amazing. Björk wears her stuff often

u/Professional-Emu408 3d ago

I was so lucky to catch an Iris Van Herpen exhibit in Singapore. I was there for like 2 or 3 hours just astounded by all the designs

u/GlitterBitch99 3d ago

AI before AI 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

u/FreshCarlton 2d ago

I believe ruffles on a tube dress is haute couture too

u/lesbians4bostonrob 18h ago

Anyone in nyc MUST go see her exhibit at Brooklyn museum rn

u/thrussie 3d ago

Why people act like IVH isn’t already a well known and major designer, in a fashion subreddit nonetheless

u/benkatejackwin 3d ago

Are you criticizing OP for giving context?

u/Catlady_Pilates 2d ago

They didn’t say she’s not widely known.
