With Summer Here,

a quick look at what the fashion conscious, 

 will be wearing for a walk in the park,

 or an evening out,

 like many of her haute couture peers, fashion designer Iris van Herpen, selects a theme that inspires and unites the designs in each of her collections,

 for her latest body of work, titled ‘Hypnosis,’ the Dutch designer partnered with Anthony Howe, an American sculptor who specializes in large-scale kinetic works.

 whose work we have featured before on the blog in March 2017,

 back to the fashion, 

 the resulting collection is centered around Howe’s Omniverse sculpture, with rotating circles of varying sizes spiraling out from a central arc, Omniverse “explores our relationship with nature and intertwines with infinite expansion and contraction, expressing a universal life cycle,” according to a statement on van Herpen’s website,

“The ‘Hypnosis’ collection is a hypnotic visualization of nature’s tapestry, the symbiotic cycles of our biosphere that interweave the air, land, and oceans. It also reflects the ongoing dissection of the rhythms of life and resonates with the fragility within these interwoven worlds” van Herpen explains,

You can read more about the intricate techniques used to create the garments—including one developed in collaboration with Canada-based Professor of Architecture Philip Beesley, on the designer’s website, Van Herpen also released a behind-the-scenes short documentary that takes viewers inside her atelier, which is above, you can explore more of van Herpen’s mesmerizing creations on Instagram, you have to admit it, you will stand out in the crowd!
