Iris van Herpen is no stranger to redefining fashion’s boundaries. Her avant-garde creations blur the lines between couture, technology, and the natural world, pushing the limits of material innovation.
Now, her breathtaking work takes center stage at the ArtScience Museum in Singapore with Iris van Herpen: Sculpting the Senses, an immersive exhibition that explores the future of fashion through over 140 designs, contemporary art, and scientific specimens.
A Visionary in Motion
As one of the most forward-thinking designers of our time, van Herpen has pioneered 3D printing, laser cutting, and biomimicry inspired designs to craft garments that feel almost alive. Her works explore the human body in relation to space, movement, and identity often resembling structures found in nature, from delicate coral formations to the intricate patterns of a butterfly’s wings.

Beyond Fashion: A Multidisciplinary Experience
This exhibition extends beyond couture. Divided into nine themes, it intertwines fashion with art, design, sustainability, and science, showcasing van Herpen’s deep collaborations with artists, architects, and biologists. The Singapore edition also features local and regional content, with artefacts from the Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum, offering a unique Southeast Asian perspective.
Art Meets Nature
The exhibition places van Herpen’s designs in dialogue with contemporary artworks from visionaries like Yayoi Kusama, Tim Walker, Kohei Nawa, and Damien Jalet, alongside intricate natural specimens. This intersection highlights the profound connection between organic structures and futuristic craftsmanship, making each piece feel like a living entity.
A Must-See for Fashion and Art Enthusiasts
