The Dutch designer talks Vogue through the futuristic inspiration behind her AW22 couture collection, and her hopes for the future.
Of course, these ideas of transformation and technology have long been embedded in van Herpen’s work, ever since she first graced the Paris Couture Week schedule with her oscillating, sci-fi-inspired designs back in 2011. Digital technology, too, has always been central to the construction of her pieces, which involve complex 3D printing techniques and innovative new materials.
By using these textiles, van Herpen hopes to inspire other designers to adopt more sustainable materials moving forward. “[The work] we’re doing with these materials is not exclusively for us; these materials are available for other brands too,” the designer comments. “A very important part of the solution is collaboration; we have to think more like a community.”
