I Thought With Spring Nearly Here,

we would look at the world of fashion for this year,

 Dutch fashion designer Iris Van Herpen most recent collection, Shift Souls, was showcased at Paris Fashion Week,

 in a statement on the brand’s website about the collection, Van Herpen explains that she was inspired by the fluidity of identity change in myths, particularly from Japan,  

 the stories “gave me the inspiration to explore the deeper meaning of identity and how immaterial and mutable it can become within the current coalescence of our digital bodies.”

 Van Herpen also collaborated with artist Kim Keever to design fabric patterns based on his liquid color cloud photographs,

 many of the pieces in Shift Souls were created using laser cut fabric pieces to form abstracted birds and human faces, emphasizing the designer’s interest in the mutability of the human figure,

 You can see more of the designer’s collections on Instagram, 

 well I have to say some of these look really nice, 

and not as way out as some of the fashions we have featured before,
