A first look into Sculpting the Senses, opening this Saturday at the @brooklynmuseum . The exhibition brings together fashion, art, science, and technology in a transdisciplinary dialogue with over 140 Haute Couture creations, sculptures, paintings and fossils. Spanning 19 years of Iris van Herpen’s layered design process, the retrospective takes visitors on a journey from the depths of the ocean to the far reaches of the universe, exploring the mystery and power of water, the architecture of the skeleton and anatomical systems, and the physics of motion, perception, and sound. At the heart of the exhibition is a recreated Amsterdam atelier, revealing the collaborative spirit and creative process behind Iris’s work, where craftsmanship, innovation, and sustainability entwine. #IrisvanHerpen #SculptingTheSenses #BrooklynMuseum #Hautecouture

Over 140 Haute Couture creations are currently being dressed throughout the galleries of the @BrooklynMuseum for Iris van Herpen: Sculpting the Senses. Thos process reveals the meticulous precision behind preparing each look for exhibition, where every silhouette must be carefully balanced by hand to preserve the integrity of its delicate construction. From laser-cut layers to intricate 3D-printed materials, each piece demands a unique level of care and technical expertise. Seen here in their final stages of preparation, these creations slowly come to life throughout the galleries. One more week until the opening of Iris van Herpen: Sculpting the Senses at the Brooklyn Museum in New York City. #IrisvanHerpen #hautecouture #SculptingTheSenses #BrooklynMuseum #behindthescenes

Behind the scenes with @EileenGu . Hovering around the body, the ‘Airo’ Dress dissolves and re-forms with every movement, expressing the body as fluid, transient, and in constant transformation. Hidden microprocessors choreograph the release of floating bubbles through a delicate system embedded within the garment, while 15,000 hand-formed iridescent glass bubbles are individually bonded by hand using UV light. Created in collaboration with @a.a.murakami , the piece merges couture craftsmanship, kinetic technology, and ephemeral materiality into a silhouette that exists only through movement and atmosphere.

The ‘Airo’ Dress is floating around @EileenGu at the Met Gala, created in collaboration with artists @a.a.murakami . In response to this year’s theme, the atomic anatomy of the human body, made up of 99.9% empty space, is reflected through floating iridescent bubbles. Hidden within the garment, microprocessors precisely coordinate the release of pressured gas and bubbles, sequenced through a dedicated digital interface and calibrated to operate autonomously. 15 000 hand-formed iridescent glass bubbles are individually bonded in place with UV light, releasing constellations of floating bubbles that drift into the air. No CGi or AI is used for this video.
