Philosophy: Iris van Herpen´s essence is to express the character and
emotions of a woman and extend the feminine body´s shape
She views fashion as an artistic expression adding value to the world -

Iris van Herpen has a modern view of haute couture, forcing fashion to
the contradiction between beauty and regeneration, combining fine
handwork techniques and futuristic digital technology
Details: Iris van Herpen´s designs are described as an alchemist approach to
fashion
IvH has a focus on the innovation of new techniques and materials
Uses old and forgotten techniques
Uses forms that change and complement the body
Mixes form, structure and materials in a new manner, realizing optimal
tension and movement - two essentials of her work
