Behind the design
Physalia is an Iris van Herpen haute couture design from spring/summer 2020. Its suspended, rippling forms and pale, layered surface allow the garment to be read almost as a floating structure. The museum identifies silk, organza and tulle, materials that make transparency and layered volume central to the appearance of this particular dress.
