Behind the design
Iris van Herpen collaborated with Jólan van der Wiel on this fall/winter 2013–14 dress. The museum identifies polyurethane, cotton and iron filings as its materials. Its rough, irregular surface and rounded sleeves draw attention to material behavior as a design tool, extending the silhouette beyond the smooth fabric surface commonly associated with a fitted dress.
