Having seen the presentation at the beginning of the 3D workshop, the designer, Iris Van Herpen really stood out to me, I loved the use of shapes and sculpture together. The shadows these designs make are really striking in my eyes, each design creates different ones when the model moves.
In the pieces above I really like the exagerated shapes and the way the fabric has been manipulated to form a sculpture type design. The fact the dresses have been made in a white and grey (quite basic colours) allows the forms to speak for themselves instead of letting colour steal focus.
The circle design is something I am quite interested in, I hope to research this futher and maybe experiment making my own circles. On the skirt above also, I think the use of materials have been chosen very well, the see through plastic strands are powerful because of the way they project outwards but also subtle in a way because they are transparent.
The dress above is one of my favourite from the collection, it is so delicate and intimate looking due to the fact there is not much there. But I think the sharp points and edges give the piece a strong look too. The contrast of strong and sensitive in the same piece is something I generally always like as I think it is quite difficult to achieve.
