Iris van Herpen ~ 'Transmotion' Short Film
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Iris van Herpen unveils the ‘Transmotion’ dress and the eponymous short film, featuring mesmeric muse and on-screen maven Carice van Houten.
Like most, the start of 2020 has seen Iris van Herpen operating closer to home. Paying homage to the brand’s Dutch roots, the homegrown actress serves as both inspiration and collaborator, starring in the film by Ryan McDaniels, that references the illusionary style of Dutch graphic artist Maurits Cornelis Escher.
The term transmotion not only depicts the process of change from one state, form, style or place to another, it is also the visionary perceptions of the seasons and the visual scenes of motion in art and literature. In parallel to Iris van Herpen’s drive to visualise the invisible, her quest to question reality and urge to explore the realms of impossibility, the project aims to narrate the process that ushers change, to materialise an unconscious state of meditation.
The ‘Transmotion’ dress radiates in a diaphanous bloom of white silk organza, translucent layers pleated within the confines of an undulating form, tracing the fluid outline of the creation. Contrasted against the frailty of sheer petals, black branches of duchess satin were laser-cut, hand-stitched and form the central roots of the garment. Threads of inspiration for the graphic yet organic extensions derive from the intricate art of Ruth Asawa. This geometric lattice recalls humankind’s inclination to tame nature. Beneath the surface, the branching also reveals the synonymity of mycorrhizal networks (the Wood Wide Web) and the symbiotic nature within human communities. Like fronds frozen in time, crystalline filaments sprout from the heart of the dress. Portraying delicate new life, black seed-like crystals punctuate the tip of each stamen-like strand.
The concept of the creation stems from the notion of growth and regeneration. The seemingly simple seed is the embodiment of life and the potential that comes with it. A seed embedded upside down in dirt still sees the seedling growing the right way up. The dress follows symmetry in both its axis and without context, indiscernible which way is up or down. Motion and fluidity involved in the formation of tessellations highlight the capacity to shift between negatives and positives. Amidst an era when polarising ideologies are heightened, the work reflects upon the nature of perception.

I'm no follower of fashion and found her work only by accident. My God, was I amazed. And bless her heart, she really is a great artist - a true genius who also inspires all those who work with her to be at the top of their game. I know the vast majority of us could never afford these things; but we have eyes - we can look and yes....We get it! What wonderful dreams Iris must have and long may they continue!
The night is dark and full of fashion

I KNEW that was Melisandre! It did take me a little too long to get your comment though. Lol
Everytime I see her work I loose words to describe how amazing she is.....I am a designing student and your work is my biggest inspiration...❤️❤️
this is art. from the unique dress, the movement, the model, the light, the cinematography to the editing. this video is A R T.
Being one of the few who kept constant the relation art-fashion, she confirms her geniality in this groundbreaking short film. An amazing work that expresses both the fluidity of nature and the structure of architecture. Black and white, softness and rigidity, nature and human creation, natural life seen through human life. Iris Van Herpen design are not only beautiful and foresighting but they are the quintessential definition of art: a representation of life.
I cried with emotion after seeing the work of this genius! we all miss you baby! successes iris 😘🙏😭

Why “miss you”????
1:35 - This white dress turns into a full range of colors, this is truly beautiful.
There is something so beautiful behind the simplicity juxtaposed with the complexity and the depth of life. The simple abstract moments captured through reflection and different ways of capturing light. How life makes no sense and yet we seek for a sense of purpose. Deep thoughts provoked by a beautiful work of art! What a magnetic collaboration!
Stunning design. The introduction where the black pattern design forms and appears on the dress is amazing.
Feels like you turn a human into a butterfly so it Looks very natural and it puts the ppl who are watching into a illustration being in a fairy tale it is nostalgic also since you put these elements in and create something rly beauty im not a fashionist but i never saw something like that i think if the world wasnt so dark you would be the reason to bring light into it im just very impressed by your work thanks for sharing your art
This is not just clothes, this is Art.
Her work makes me feel like I'm peering into another dimension. I hope to one day wear one of her beautiful pieces. She is a fantastic artist.
I’m left without words to describe the beauty and genius of this design. Iris is a gift to the world.
How my dear old mother would have loved this
I believe she is a GENIUS!! The imagination,the inspiration,the amazing elegance, the simplicity yet very intense, it's ALL there!! High ART!! MESMERIZING!! Keep at it, Iris!!❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹
THIS IS IT, I had an exact vision about this! - AT&T, this is possible! THIS IS INEVITABLE!
When I see her work it takes me a new world

Music is reverberating. Cinematography is amazing. Design is beyond words. Thought provoking video 👏🏻
Angelic Carice wore this dress inspired by and designed for her way better than anybody ever possibly could, and clearly is the white swan (although the Winnie lady who wore it later-didn’t recognize her name at all but I believe I have seen her before as she has the “paint horse”/parti-colored skin, which is actually pretty cool.)
Every work of this firm is stunning. It's really beautiful and inspirational 💕

Amazing

magnificent :)
Iris Van Herpen is the only person who is so good at something that I would be alright if her field didn't progress anymore. Like I have no desire to be a designer because she is better than I could theoretically wish to be in design. It's nearly inhuman.
Обалдеть,это полет!! Великолепно!!!
🌸
Восторг,восторг!!!
Dream like design.
beautiful.
Carice van Houten ! Wow !
This maybe more spectacular if Iris design for mens wear. I am looking forward to it.
please more! I miss your beautiful magic!
Непостижимо Креативно Шикарно Гармонично Эстетично 🌹🥀🌻🌷🌼🌸🌺
Iris fantástica, incrível e extraterrena
Magnífica ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I wish I could wear one of these. Is there any listed price, or do you have to be a celebrity with an agent to get one?
Just wow
even though some of us would look like giant box jellyfish, the world should wear IVH .. and the use of that prism light on her creation is superb
Excellent stunning
Очень красиво и необычно!
Lovely, like a human anemone...not sure if it's the flower or a sea anemone, both work. Great photos!

Wundervoll
it's beautiful but may I ask what is the point, the purpose, the meaning, the reason, the subject, the expectation of this film? or if there is any? and in that case why?
Melisandre ♡♡♡
