From 29 November 2023 to April 28, 2024
Organized at the Museum of Decorative Arts, from November 29, 2023 to April 28, 2024, the exhibition by Iris van Herpen “ Sculpting the Senses », pays tribute to one of the most visionary fashion designers of her generation. A pioneer in the use of new technologies in her discipline, Iris van Herpen transgresses conventional norms of clothing, open to both traditional and forward-looking know-how.
Going from micro to macro, the exhibition questions the place of the body in space, its relationship to clothing and its environment, its future in a rapidly changing world. A selection of more than 100 haute couture pieces created by Iris van Herpen interact with contemporary works of art, such as those of Collectif Mé, Wim Delvoye, Rogan brown, Kate MccGwire, Damien Jalet, Kohei Nawa, Casey Curran, Jacques Rougerie, as well as design creations by Neri Oxman, Ren Ri, Ferruccio Laviani and Tomáš Libertíny, and pieces from natural sciences such as corals or fossils from Deyrolle creating a unique resonance with historical pieces. The exhibition is on view at the Christine & Stephen A. Schwarzman Fashion Galleries.
