Iris Van Herpen IG x 7 July 2025. I thought this was so f'n cool (hot?). Video under spoiler. Caption (deep breath): Today we unveil our new Haute Couture collection Sympoiesis ~
The opening ‘Living Look’ is a first-of-its-kind vision - Inhabited by 125 million bioluminescent algae that emit light in response to movement. Embodied by @ StellaMaxewell and created in collaboration with biodesigner @ bio.crafted, it is a living system cultivated in seawater and encapsulated in a specialised nutrient gel. A translucent protective coating allows light and air to pass through. Rather than constructed, the dress is nurtured. Its circadian rhythm and environment are carefully tuned to its marine origin, transforming fashion into an act of care.
As the look emerges, it is surrounded by a biospheric light sculpture by @ nickverstand.
