Member Previews: Iris van Herpen

Members: Be among the first to experience Iris van Herpen: Sculpting the Senses, an exhibition celebrating one of the most forward-thinking fashion designers of her generation, before its public opening at the Brooklyn Museum.

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.
