Member Preview Party: Iris van Herpen

Thursday, May 14, 8–10 pm

    All Members are invited to a preview party marking the opening of Iris van Herpen: Sculpting the Senses, an exhibition celebrating one of the most forward-thinking fashion designers of her generation. Enjoy a cash bar, special activations, and live music along with the art!

    Worn by luminaries including Beyoncé, Björk, Cate Blanchett, Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga, and Ariana Grande, Van Herpen’s designs draw on biomimicry, fractal geometry, and neuroscience, transforming cutting-edge discoveries into sculptural gowns and ethereal fabrics. In Sculpting the Senses, more than 140 extraordinary haute couture creations are shown alongside contemporary artworks and designs, as well as scientific artifacts and natural history specimens. Rare archival materials and a soundscape by composer Salvador Breed add to this interdisciplinary, multisensory experience, revealing the experimental spirit that has reshaped 21st-century fashion.

    Free for all Members. Invitations with the registration link will be sent to Members via email. Standard Membership admission benefits apply.
