Couture week has officially kicked off fashion season. On our radar of must-catch shows was Iris Van Herpen, who we had the opportunity to meet last year. We’re absolutely enchanted by the Dutch designer’s innovative use of technology. Earlier this week, van Herpen presented her latest Haute Couture collection, entitled ‘Shift Souls’ at Palais des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Alongside a laser light installation by contemporary artist Nick Verstand, van Herpen showed eighteen garments ranging from shades of indigo and purple to ochre and yellow, and included prints that created optical illusions to “distort the body,” according to Dezeen. Watch the show from the artist’s YouTube channel above.
