Iris Van Herpens launched her third ready to wear collection Magnetic Motions, as part of Paris fashion week. This collection explores an interplay of the magnetic forces; attraction and repulsion.
"I find beauty in the continual shaping of chaos which clearly embodies the primordial power of nature's performance." - Iris Van Herpen
There was so much intricate details and experimentation with a range of different materials, however I think that by having no sound the movements of the fabric looked awkward and clunky. An example of a really strong use of music would be Van Herpen's Hybrid Holism collection. The use of sound allowed the models to carry a persona. I think that the music plays a significant role in runway shows, it gives them a performative aspect rather than people simply walking down a runway.
In my last assignment I explored the use of metal triangles to create sculptures that could move much like a fabric. I believe that these applications such as these can be used for the purpose of art as well as practical pieces. This is what we have seen Van Herpen achieve in her ready to wear collections.
