Inspired by the cross sensational phenomenon of feeling sound,
smelling motion, and hearing colour; Iris Ven Herpen represented her 2010
collection called ‘Synesthesia’. As
always, Iris Ven Herpen made her collection very detailed.
Sensitive bodies, fragile lines, and three-dimensional structures
contrasting with dark lines, unexpected flesh, and reflection trick the eyes
and take the form of twisting cords, web-like knots, and multilayered leather
threadwork. Pieces are neutralized by dark purple and black as a base, and
punctuated with shimmering golds, and brilliant metallics to create a
collection that elicits sensation and feeling whilst remaining visually
stunning. The three-dimensional shapes, transparency and reflection provide a
whole that is optically alienating.
"It would be good if fashion and the way of presentation could
melt together into one big overall experience stimulating all the senses. Such
that, not only do you see clothes but can also smell, hear and feel them,"
says Van Herpen.
