Taking place at the Musée des Arts décoratifs from November 29, 2023, to April 28, 2024, the exhibition Iris van Herpen: Shaping the Senses celebrates the innovative work of the renowned fashion designer.
Known for her pioneering use of new technologies in fashion, Iris van Herpen defies traditional clothing norms while incorporating both traditional Couture craftsmanship and cutting-edge techniques.
Exploring the relationship between the body, clothing, and the environment, the exhibition delves into the impact of the rapidly changing world on the future of fashion.
Featuring a collection of over 100 haute couture pieces by Iris van Herpen, the exhibition also showcases contemporary artworks by artists such as Philip Beesley, the Collectif Mé, Wim Delvoye, Kate MccGwire, Damien Jalet, Kohei Nawa, Casey Curran, Rogan Borwn, Jacques Rougerie, as well as design pieces by Neri Oxman, Ren Ri, Ferruccio Laviani, and Tomáš Libertíny.
Additionally, items from the natural sciences, including skeletons and fossils, are incorporated to create a unique resonance with historical pieces.
The exhibition will be housed in the Christine & Stephen A. Schwarzman Galleries and curated by Cloé Pitiot and assistant curator Louise Curtis, with the scenography designed by Studio Nathalie Crinière.
