This season haute couture AW12/13, Iris’ inspiration is yet another scientific experiment; this time her inspiration is drawn from a project lead by architect Philip Beeslley vcalled Holozolic Ground.
Iris see’s these possibilities of living technology as a future where design, art, architecture and even fashion will be radically changed: they will not constantly be newly made and after discarded, but they will become human creation that are partly alive and therefore able to improve constantly. the materials Iris applied to this collection are: mirrored copper sheeting, metallic coated stripes, UV-curable polymer, silicone lace, Swarovski crystals, acrylic transparent sheets and Ecco leather..
I felt like being in a class and science fiction’s atmosphere where 3d, brightness, and slow motion were mixed together.
This collection was produced in collaboration with architect Julia Koerner for the 3D printed dress, Heaven Tanudiredja for the cluches, and Irene Bussemaker for the masks.
