Dutch fashion designer Iris van Herpen combines traditional haute couture craftsmanship with innovative technology, earning her recognition as a pioneer of new couture. Her designs are inspired by nature, science and human emotions, and are characterised by futuristic, sculptural forms. The Skeleton Dress envelops the body like filigree armour made of ossified undulations.
