And once again, Iris moves us to tears. We’re all deeply moved by her work. An extravagant, offbeat staging, opened by a demonstration from New Zealand artist Carlos Van Camp<\/em><\/strong> demonstrating the volts flowing through his body, leaving the audience speechless. A very special universe, a rather dark sphere whose incandescent light lends a fantastic, almost fairy-tale quality to the show. Like a kind of Genesis, an alien procreation, a work in the fetal stage, developing before our very eyes as mere human beings. In fact, the artist is leading us to reflect on the human condition. Yes, a fashion show can naturally lead to philosophical reflection. Do you think it’s crazy? It’s called Iris Van Herpen magic. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Associations with insects and curiosity cabinets, silphid bodies, 3D, worked volumes, structured and geometric dresses, innovative materials: silicone, canvas, metal, ultra-high-tech women who nevertheless seem so close to flora and fauna. A truly natural, animal feel emanates from these women-android. A conceptual collection by an avant-garde artist. <\/p>\n

The unique use of black and white as a prism, which aren’t even considered “colors” in their own right. And suddenly this intruder, this steel dress, silver in color. Like an illumination. And it’s with shock that we leave the premises, eager to discover her ready-to-wear collection, which she will present in March 2013 in Paris. <\/p>\n
