The next big thing - Iris van Herpen

When researching brands that represented a unique and fashion forward approach to their work I was immediately struck by designer Iris van Herpen and her use of 3D printing. Her product designs are completely far fetched yet beautifully sculptured surrounding the theme of motion and movement. Her use of 3D printing has a uniqueness to it that had not been presented into the industry prior to her designs. As well as 3D printing the designer has also worked with injection molding, laser cutting and intricate architectural handwork on a variety of garments to which give them a three dimensional and voluminous look.  I feel that her use of boldly sculptured shapes that accentuate the form of body shape are amazing at showing just how far fabrics can be taken if done so in the right way.
