Iris van Harpen's collection could be described as wearable sculptures. Implementing both design and engineering concepts, exhibit visitors will witness the progression of her couture collection from its inception to its current evolution. With creative use of three D printed materials to emulate elements in her collection, each piece is a creation of art.
With a prestigious resume, Iris Van Herpen, studied Fashion Design at ArtEZ Institute of the Arts Arnhem and interned at Alexander McQueen in London, and Claudy Jongstra in Amsterdam. In 2007 , she started her own label. At 32, Van Herpen designs two couture collections each year and has designed for celebrities including Beyonce, Scarlett Johansson, Bjork, and Lady Gaga.
Upon entrance into the Heinz gallery, "Refinery Smoke" greats guests. Constructed of oxidized metal mesh, the piece emulate the feel of smoke.
Traveling the country, the collection will be on exhibit at the Carnegie Museum of Art through May 1.
