The retrospective dedicated to Iris van Herpen at the Brooklyn Museum was inevitable-a necessary tribute to one of the designers who most revolutionized the language of contemporary fashion. From technological innovation applied to materials to biological experimentation, van Herpen redefined the very concept of haute couture. She was among the first designers to introduce 3D printing into fashion back in 2010-just three years after founding her brand-when this technology was still mostly used in architecture and engineering. Over the years, she then pushed the research further and further, even going so far as to create a dress composed of living algae through collaboration with architects, sculptors, chemists, multidisciplinary artists, bioengineers and astrophysicists. <\/p>\n\n

This ongoing creative evolution, along with the designer’s many sources of inspiration, is at the heart of Iris van Herpen: Sculpting the Senses, the mid-career retrospective that opened Saturday at the Brooklyn Museum. The exhibition originated in 2023 at the Mus\u00e9e des Arts D\u00e9coratifs, which had already acquired the designer’s famous 3D-printed top in 2018, before landing in Australia, Singapore, and Rotterdam. <\/p>\n\n
