- On January 20th, 2020, Iris van Herpen presented her latest Couture collection, titled ’Sensory Seas’, at Cirque d'hiver Bouglione in Paris.
~
For this collection, Iris van Herpen draws inspiration from the sensory processes that occur between the intricate composition of the human body, mirrored with the fibrous marine ecology of our oceans. The first threads of inspiration came from the Spanish neuroanatomist Ramón y Cajal. He wanted to uncover something that no one had yet understood. He questioned; how does the brain engage in conversation with its counterparts? Exploring our central nervous system in microscopic detailing, Cajal documented his revolutionary findings through anatomical drawings that are considered amongst the world’s greatest scientific illustrations. Hunched over his microscope, he merged science with art and brought to life the threads of our enchanted biology to the human eye. Other inspiration stemmed from diving into the deep depths of the Hydrozoa, a class of delicately branched sea-life organisms. Shifting between a polypoid stage and a medusa stage, the Hydrozoa embroider the oceans like aqueous fabrics, forming layers of living lace. ‘Sensory seas’ holds a microscope over the indelible nuances between the anthropology of a marine organism, to the role of dendrites and synapses delivering infinite signals throughout our bodies. It enchants the attention of how two processes of torrential messaging exist in an uninterrupted state of flux. The collection consists 21 silhouettes that illustrate a portrait of liquid labyrinths, where dresses spill onto the floor in elegant train and pigments gather in cloudedpools of blues and lilac, leaking into one another like marble.

I couldn't tell where the models skin started and the dress started. They looked like beautiful sea creatures emerging from the dark depths of the ocean. So gorgeous.
You're are spot on with your description. What innovative and beautiful designs!!!!!
@@jemandjemand2362 ***hole detected. Get a life you mundane creature.
@@jemandjemand2362 lol...
Ikr😘. They are so beautiful ❤️❤️❤️.
I now want cod & chips!!!!!!.
Shows us how nature kicks our ass when it comes to design and beauty .
This isn't just high fashion, it's high art and high craftmanship. This, to me, is even more impressive than McQueen's Atlantis. There wasn't one garment in this entire collection that I wasn't completely transfixed and mesmerized by. What a genius designer this woman is.
Iris worked with McQueen on a few of his collections
OMG yes!
Exactly. It makes me think about some bjork videos
а носить бы это стали? или сейчас мода просто как картины, музыка, поэзия?
Fashion IS a wearable Artform 🤦♂
The House Of Iris Van Herpen is an exclusive member of the Federation de la Haute Couture. If that doesn't make her collections high fashion than I don't know what does.
Lets also take a moment to appreciate the shoe design for this collection.
Let's also take a moment to appreciate the models walking with such elegance and self-assurance in those shoes and not falling over. ;)
I thought the shoes were great, but almost a bit too clunky for most of the designs 💁🏼♂️
Эти туфли навеяны национальной японской обувью geta --скамеечки для ног
Not trying to kill ur models with those shoes are you ?? Unnecessary I think !
Oh my god yes they are gorgeous. I wonder where can I get a pair
I'm not usually into runway fashion but watching this made me emotional. This is so utterly beautiful. Sci-fi couture.
I was also not. Now im discovering a new favorite designer everyday :D They are really amazing
This is what high fashion should be. Craftsmanship and Innovation
# Pomegranate Molasses:....and not within the realm of wearability??
To intentionally design outside of that reality is wasteful and pointless unless designed specifically as unrestricted art, untethered to the disciplines and requirements of the fashion business and created exclusively for display in a gallery for costumes.
@@johntucker9326 honestly, I think a lot of these are wearable, especially the flowing, fish-like ones. I think high fashion is there to be outrageous and artistic. Too many fashion houses these days just re-hash street wear for x10 the cost. It's refreshing to see something with an interesting design that's actually unique
@@pomegranatemolasses6432 like it or not it is a business. That's the reality. The great couturiers understood this and still retained their creative, innovative genius, much of which is referenced still today in the better, less obtuse couture presentations. A responsible designer must keep the potential wearer in mind; if he or she prefers to lose sight of that indisputable fact and design purely "for art's sake" with no respect for the house's bottom line or reason for existence, then that designer needs to take his or her talent elsewhere beyond the expectations and disciplines of business.
@@johntucker9326 Iris doesn't have a "house", she is an independent designer with a small team, so she can focus on whatever she likes. She only makes 2 small collections per year. And yes many of her pieces are considered works of art and have been bought and didplayed by museums and art galleries around the world. She also designs costumes for opera and ballet, and contributes to architectural projects. In other words, she is not a commercial fashion designer, she is an artist.
John Tucker it’s haute couture not ready to wear.🤦🏾♀️
This collection is really for a deep sea red carpet that we never expected. Atlantis could never!
This and Plato's Atlantis by the late Alexander McQueen are treasures from the ocean!! Y'all have to stannn
@@parcsome Her inspirations are not from the sea ( it's from cymatics, water, light, scientist, and vibration). McQueen's inspirations came from back in the day, Iris is her own creative, her mind doesn't even compare to McQueen. You need to do a your research on designers. She states that she doesn't copy things and makes them better, her creations just comes from her mind ....
Expecting to see this in the little mermaid live action.
If you are talkiing about Alexander McQueen Plato's Atlantis, they can be similar. but both are a masterclass in the craft of design. Still, McQueen's collection could be shown today and remain relevant and ahead of time. they cannot the compared. both are AMAZING!
Miss. Bitch, Swerve in the description of her video, it literally says that she drew inspiration from MARINE (ocean) systems and ecology, and tied them into neuroscience and dendritic function. Jan wasn’t completely wrong at all. While Iris does in fact play around with natural textures I.e water, light, vibration etc., and applies it beautifully to her silhouettes, there’s also a scientific bio-ecological niche that she taps into to produce these pieces. It’s magnificent.
I’ve never seen garments that move like this. It’s an emotional experience
7:51 they seem like the royalty council of Atlantis or something, so powerful
Her clothes are like asmr for the eyes & soul. I keep seeing one and I'm like "Oh yeah, this one, it's my favorite", and then the next one comes out and I'm like, "Oh, no no, this one. It's this one", and then another comes, and it's like, "Oh, wait..."
each one is more charming than the other, I understand you, because I thought the same.
I know, I bit my knuckle and whined when that first black dress emerged. The construction from every angle is UNREAL, exquisite. And then of course, came THAT white dress. All of her collections have me reacting in just the way you wrote. Wonderfully engaging, inspiring and energising.
IKR?!?! So mathematically perfect with constant motion, like the dresses are made of pure energy. So unique. 💫💗🌌
I was literally just saying "Wowwww" for every single one. The artistry, the *TALENT*. God
From start to finish, every new piece that walked down the runway shocked me, in the best way, and then that last dress knocked me out. Transcending. This is an apotheosis of Iris van Herpen's work. Just utterly spectacular, divine and glorious.
Couldn't have said it better myself.
Yes! They should intro this video with your words. JS, wow you read my mind and put it so Beautifully! Iris has done it again, and again, and AGAIN!💯🙌🙌
@@ceesan5605 oh hello there, troll, hungry yet?
Well said @milanopiano! I got no words to add... 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
It’s not fashion! It’s plastic work! Cut and stick that’s it ! Too much then you will Aesthetic fatigue ! For me now it’s just a joke!
This is what fashion is suppose to look like.. an art. Just when I thought fashion designers has run out ideas, I came across this and I am absolutely stunned. Never have I seen something so ethereal . It's like every dress has a life of it's own
This woman will single-handedly save the fashion industry
The fashion industry isn’t even dying??
Эта маленькая женщина спасает мир от деградации
Iris Van Herpen is like designing the future. Every single piece that walked that runway blew my mind away. What makes it so different is the motion in every dress. The dress can be on mannequin and still look alive. As if she is giving life to the dress. Even so complicated design the garments look so effortless. And vision of sea has been put intuitively into this collection. Its fantastic. One can easily see and find every single element and part of sea that she has put into. Love her.
NEXT MET GALA’S THEME SHOULD BE:
Fashion of the Future; The Artworks of Iris van Herpen
I always look out for the Met Gala attendees who are confident enough to wear her works. Very thoughtful designs that often don’t get enough attention.
@@oekmama only a few know how to look good tough
Oh yes !
These dresses are so visually alluring omg the way they move, blend into the model, how they reflect natural wonders... I’m so glad I discovered this artist.
Hey, I have autism, and I really must say that this is a stim! It's really relaxing and still has enough visual information to occupy the mind
That’s so fun! This video is hypnotic 😵💫😲
Beauty. I am sitting on a balcony 10 stories or so above the ocean. Anyhow, right on the beach and this video clip makes me feel even closer. ❤️💗❤️
I have autism too, I watched this video all the time for years. Iris van Herpen is a huge inspiration to me. Sometimes I stay up late and stim while watching, I get so excited I can hardly sleep.
I showed this to my 80 year old mother. She is a former artist who now has Alzheimer’s. She was just in a trance from the first moment, shocked at these creations.
Marvelous!
Bless her. She knows real art. When she sees it.
I bet she would enjoy watching some old musicals with some great costumes. I know it is hard, but sometimes you do find ways to enjoy the time spent together with her. Aloha.
lmao the kinda stuff people come up with honestly.
Iris Van Herpen is so ahead of her time. Absolutely beautiful
5:35 how does that dress blend so perfectly to her skin?! 😍
Sensory Seas is legitimate my favorite collection since 2015 I can’t express enough how beautiful and impactful it is
This woman is at a totally different level. No one can touch her.
I’m gonna wear one of those dresses on my coronation day for when I take over the world
Good luck taking over the world
I think Zuhir Murad's collection are better for coronation.His collection are real Royal.
@@RSKoli-kr8uj i mean..I do agree with your description of Zuhit Murad's collections as "royal" but Iris's designs are in the category of "avant-garde"
Yessss, the green seaweed looking one 4:50 just screams "I rule the world!"
Honestly Periodt
The imagination it takes to dream these delicacies up and the
Artistry to bring them to life is incredible.
Iris Van Herpen has certainly raised a high bar for other designers.
Each model needs to walk the runway 10 times because there is so much going on with those dresses, one pass isn't enough.
There's only one word I can think of to describe her designs... ethereal. 🥰
I am enthralled by the range she can convey. Her reds emanate such power, her white is so pure and angelic, her blues are so ethereal, her blacks are otherworldly. This is an incredible collection and the music is stunning.
Someone needs to wear one of these dresses to the Oscars.
mrblf652 an actress whose name I don't recall wore one of her dresses to the Golden Globes. One of the best dressed that night in my opinion!
Actresses are more interested in wearing clothes that show boobs in a new way or legs or body in a translucent cloth. I wouldn't call these dresses sexy but they show curves through movements and are incredibly high fashion
Gwendoline Christie and Eva Green wore IVF to some red carpets ... Soo Joo Park did too...
Yes
Think the same! If the actresses looked for this stylist, they would not be frowned upon at the Oscars.
Most uniquely psychedelic fashion art I have ever seen by a mile.
This dresses looks more live than people in them. Magic and beautiful!
I'm just sitting here silently, captured by this show. Absolutely breathtaking! And the music and the stage everything is perfect, it tells a real story! I wish I could wear these. I definitely would. Watching this brings me into a meditative state full of amazing fantasies.
Ikr? puts me into kind of a trance every time I watch. Every single time.
So happy I am not the only one. I started fantasizing about alternative worlds and about how these people are more than just humans in those costumes, they become otherworldly
This is like architecture, this is Zaha Hadid in the most beautiful and ethereal way! Fashion here has taken an step from 2 dimensions to 3 dimensions. It's like moving from line to perspective, wonderful!
More like 3 dimensions to 4
Indeed. This is zaha hadid if she were a fashion designer
Fun fact: iris actually has a background in architecture
@@Jonathon13Carlos Now everything makes sense... thank you !
this isn't another fashion runway it's a whole performance. everything comes together just astoundingly. chills every time i watch it.
Incredible creations. Love them way they undulate. Star Trek should hire this designer.
This is the first collection I've seen that left me completly breathless from start to finish. It is like I lived a dream and that music fits perfectly the atmosphere that these dresses wanted to describe
6:44 the dress is alive!!! IVH is honestly a genius
Боже, это было настолько прекрасно. Я и раньше восхищалась данными работами, когда видела их на фотографиях. А во время просмотра я отметила, что в движении эти платья выглядят ещё лучше. Это шоу выше моих похвал. Гармоничное, сбалансированное, держащее до самого конца. Браво. Я вами восхищаюсь.
What a stunning collection. This designer has an instinct for color, movement, fabric-- the organic nature of the piece and it’s relation to the others. The music really complements the collection. Brava!
6:45 how can this dress look more like a lionfish than an actual lionfish
Yeah this one and the dress at 4:40 really reminded me of lion fish, she really captures the essence of the things she takes inspiration from
@@janyleaves Yes... Than one has more of the spike structures of the Lionfish, color notwithstanding
I'm glad iris van herpen is here. After Alexander McQueen i thought I'd never see art
my reaction was the same
Same here
Брависсимо, красота не имеет границ и человеческой фантазии , таланту нет предела. Космос.
My gawd, this is art of the highest levels. Every piece is exquisite.
She's my favorite artist in the world, her creations never disappoint. Ever so exciting yet somehow gentle, new but familiar, breathtaking and ethereal.
OKAY
THE QUEEN HAS BLESSED US AGAIN
the way the fabrics float and bend put me underwater. absolutely visionary and creative. in awe of this woman
and I only heard of her months ago. Was she ever famous... Sorry, Im like Andrea Sach when she first arrived in Runway Magazine when it comes to desginers.
Alexander ☺️☺️McQueen
Iris van H.🤮🤢Alexander copy❗️❗️
In love with this designer, feels like a science fiction fashion show, so ethereal.
Iris Van herpen has such a futuristic and creative mind this is my first time seeing her work and I’m overly impressed 😍👏🏽
This is another level of fashion where most of the designers can't reach. Pure creativity, overwhelming.
The white one though absolutely stunning 💫 even in a show full of color and uniqueness the pureness of the white reminds me of the prosperity a doves feather
Alien Speaking My dream wedding dress..... and last I checked I didn’t even want to get married 🤣🤣🤣
...or swan feather
Лучший фантастический показ. Райские птицы, морские глубины, все платья в движении...
0:38 even Daenerys is impressed with the clothes while sitting there with the audience. P. S. these collection could easily be either high fashion costumes for celebrity A-listers at the Met Gala or museum pieces at MoMA
The moment all walked out together as a group was overwhelming. Like beautiful otherworldly beings.
I wonder how Iris Van Herpen would interpret the theme Time for this year's Met Gala
Anna Rose oooooo j wanna see that!
Anna Rose I think she has already done "Time".
has she ever done stuff for the MET GALA/
@@eduardochavacano yes. She designed for Jordan Roth for the Met Gala 2019, which was a Cape that revealed to be a photo of a theatre stage when he opened his arms.
@Fly by night and even Madonna was made to looed stupid when paired with comedy girl catty perry in those Moschino outfits.
Glad I’m alive to see this. Would love the live experience. Truly Art.
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL FANTASTIC DESIGNS IN THE WORLD!!!!!!
I absolutely love how video is edited, that is slowing down. Garments, music, models, laser... perfection
Wow this makes me think of lyrics from the song Queendom “The sea waves are my evening gown”
Просто великолепно. Получила эстетическое наслаждение. Импрессия, грация, летящие силуэты... Словно ожившие ирисы и великолепные бабочки. Браво создателю!
Iris, is the future of fashion without a doubt. I am touched by their collections, I can see a bird without a feather being used, I can see fur without an animal suffering. It allows me to carry, to fly my imagination and for that reason I do not lose hope that the fantasy is there, at my fingertips and all my senses are activated ... I can smell when seeing this collection parade ... ABSOLUTE emotion
Don't know why this was in my recommended, but I loved every second of it. This is high fashion I can actually get behind.
these designs are like living entities, stunning
Такая красота,такое великолепие !! Потрясающий талант,никакого вызова,разветолько уму,никакой пошлости,это прекрасно,спасибо!!
Iris Van Harpen es la diseñadora más avanzada a su tiempo y en general una de las más visionarias, sus diseños son tan futuristas por que no solo juega con las formas y colores si no también con las telas y estilos en general. Siento que sus prendas son muy arriesgadas pero no exageradas, Sí imagino a alguien en cien años usándolas, Me inspira mucho
WAITING BJÖRK TO WEAR THESE.
omg yes!
ᗋᗟᖇᓰ all of them!
And Grimes 😩
BASIC @@raequinn9986
@@raequinn9986 na, just Bjork.
The dress at 4:47 I love it... I love all of these dresses... they’re so creative and the fact that some of the patterns were inspired by a dna sample or something.... even more creative nobody does that normally... like for real....
Iris is the most creative runway fashion designer out therrreeeee!
That one is so beautiful, it reminds me of a lion fish.
@@speakZarathustra same! Lionfish was the first thing that came to my mind too
This was my favourite. I thought she looked like a majestic chicken
OlObuffalo what chicken looks like that?
OlObuffalo this collection is definitely inspired by aquatic life
Wow, wow, WOW! I'm not into fashion shows etc., but this is ART!! I was mesmerised. She is an artistic genius.
Each piece has its own beauty. Like I don't know it's so mesmerising. Literally
7:35 just imagine that being your squad. People would faint in rapture
She makes art. And yet that word is not enough.
Teaching myself to sew I want to make my own clothes and dresses. I'm only a few years into it yet I completely 100% appreciate the time the passion that goes into making clothing like this. It's not about what is functional, it's about the hard work, passion, time, technique, and years of talent to create something like this. To take an idea, and make this reality! It's not easy! It's not a small achievement! This is remarkable talent, hard work, and the brain power to understand the pattern making and placements to make everything so perfect! This is modern DaVinci. This is work of a genius.
This woman is incredible. Her designs are not simply designs. Its art for generations each piece here is incredible.❤❤❤❤.
These models' movements are somewhere between a glide and flight in this collection. Almost as they're changing right before your eyes. So stunning to watch.
Although these designs may not be to everyone's aesthetic taste I find them so stunning,cool,ultra modern and avante-garde done so right!
Weightless and shapeshifting grounded by a foundation and stability which is seen and unseen. Like our mysterious oceans, Iris continues to surprise us only because we have yet to venture to the places only she can go.
The way it flows is DREAMY! Exquisite.
imagine dancing flamenco in one of these dresses, that would be wild
yes!! that would be gorgeous
ihath What about the YELLOWWWWWWWWWWWWW one by Giambattista Valli?
@@PaulSmith-pf2uq Oh yes!
@3:30 left me shook. So climactic! The visuals, the architecture, and execution is absolutely stunning.
My favourite piece of the show ❤️🥺
Freaking genius! The illusion of movement where there is none the colors, the textures she is a genius!
that lionfish dress is truly on of the most iconic garment ever created. EVER
A true visionary. Her work never disappoints, always excites. Perfection.
I watched this covered in goosebumps-her clothing is so visceral and expressive, it emanates an other-worldly energy.
Breathtaking! And original. And classy! LOVE LOVE LOVE!
I can see the flow of the sea through this collection. Bravo!
I don't have the right words to express how much I love IVH's creations. I am in awe every time.
One of the best shows. This is like being in another dimension, this is art. So deep.
i just cried while watching this, never thought that fashion could touch me so deeply. watching your dresses felt like a glimpse of freedom i dont know how to describe it else. You dont try anything, it seems like you listen to the material and bring it to life somehow. It feels like i can breath again. i have no idea why your work makes me feel this way. i am so happy that i found you. i feel deeply connected to you though ive never met you
A master of texture and silhouette. What is even left to say? Every look is a glimpse into another realm. I feel like a lot of designers give us a look and only when they tell us their inspiration do we say ' oh yes I see it!' but with iris Van herpen you see it, no need to be told.
I’m just speechless. This is absolutely beautiful, and I usually don’t enjoy fashion shows but because I understand what the title was talking about and I could just feel it. I’m so in love with this line. 👏🏽 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Mind blowing 🤯 Iris is what keeps the fashion world interesting. This collection is magnificent, out of this world. BRAVO! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
My god, this is extraordinary. My husband and I are watching this in awe of the creativity, artistry and surreal beauty and power. True art feeds your soul.
Нереально красиво.Все великолепно-от фактуры и цветовых гамм до скорости съемки оператора!Конструкции ,казалось бы ,доволько объемные и в то же фремя удивительно легкие,невесомые.Колыхание создает фантастическую атмосферу.
Ищящно,необычно,впечатляюще!Очень,очень понравилось!
Absolutely in love with the deep marine life influence. iris is at it again - capturing all that is magnificent
Iris, I absolutely love your work. You have a way of blending what I call, sacred geometry (or fractal patterns), and sensuality. the flow of colors and materials is mesmerizing
Movement. This is how you put movement into a garment- and turn it into art. It's like they're floating without water. It's Architectural, it's what I think angels look like in flight. So beautiful. Shout out to the entire team of artisans that make this moment in art happen.
Wow! can't stop admiring her , she so talented , her construction techniques are so impecables
MOMENTS IN LIFE THAT JUST LEAVE YOU SPEECHLESS AND INSPIRED.
this was absolutely beautiful!!! 😭 i'm so so inspired by this. soft ocean waves, extravagant flowers, elegant fern leaves. and of course the music and visuals! i can't express how much i love this! it's both natural and futuristic, ethereal yet down to earth, bold but in a feminine way. i'd like to wear and paint every piece.
So many of these dresses are gorgeous. The colours, texture and movement reminiscent of birds of paradise in the best sense. Stunning.
Magnifique !!! C tellement intemporel !!! Jamais du Iris Van Herpen passera de mode ... sublissime !!!!
this is not a fashion show........it's a life-changing experience!!!
I love all her designs..she gives clothing such life the movement the clothes are alive. The transition of energy from wearer to clothes is so beautiful I wish I could have just one peice from her collection.
The craftsmanship, detail, textures and prints are all so breathtaking.
Это потрясающе! Красиво и, главное, оригинально! ❤❤❤
