Iris van Herpen x Dutch National Ballet ~ 'Biomimicry' Short Film
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Iris van Herpen and Dutch National Ballet debut collaboration by unveiling the short film entitled ‘Biomimicry,’ featuring Jingjing Mao.
For the ‘Biomimicry’ film, Iris van Herpen and Dutch National Ballet explore the symbiotic relationship between the metamorphic force in which fashion and dance interlace. The film, directed by Ryan McDaniels, sees the mesmeric dancer JingJing Mao undulating into liquescent shapes and transcending into graceful figures that reflect her myriad of movements.
Dazing in the warm shades of technicoloured organza, Mao defies gravity while gracefully floating through the air. Other times, the dancer sets translucent 3D hand-casted PU into motion, creating new patterns that play with the viewer’s perspective. Fashion and dance become a catalyst for transformation, unfolding the blue gown into spheroid silhouettes.
The concept of the creation stems from the notion of biomimicry - the design and production of materials and systems that are modelled on biological processes. In line with Iris van Herpen’s continuous pursuit to materialise the invisible forces that structure the world, the film focusses on the bond between humanity and nature.
The dancer - symbolising strength and determination - finds herself in a future in which mankind, science and nature are closely interwoven. This is also mirrored within the music, composed by Thijs de Vlieger and Lavinia Meijer. Deeply rooted in dichotomies, the music encompasses subjects such as machines and nature as well as soul and control, searching for unfamiliar synthesis in familiar organisms.
This synergic collaboration comes as a natural evolution of Iris van Herpen’s multidisciplinary approach to the art of fashion and matches seamlessly with Dutch National Ballet’s practice of co-creating with leading visual artists, photographers and designers. Van Herpen’s background in classical ballet metamorphoses this collaboration into a hybrid dance in search for freedom of form. The brand’s pioneering vision of coalescing fashion and dance comes to life through JingJing Mao who is guided by Movement Director Juanjo Arqués, a gifted creative associate with Dutch National Ballet. Arqués made intuitive use of the surrounding eclectic elements to explore the direction Iris van Herpen’s designs take him.

This is why Lady Gaga is extremely Cringy with her Self Proclaimed “Art” album. This Art the kind that suits Bjork, Tori Amos, and Madonna.
Jingjing Mao looks as if she has the Spirit of Ecstasy running through her in some of those slow-mo movements.
The movement of that third dress was magical
Those dresses looks like bioluminescent jellyfish in the deep sea......flow of the fabrics😳
Wonderful directing and dancing as well...just lovely.
Oh this Ballerina got to wear some AMAZING peices! Loved seeing all the textures of these brilliant fabrics showcased by her dancing. 🥰

The way she turns classical ballet into contemporary dance just by the angle of her arms gives this video a surreal vibe

Absolutely captivating. IVH pieces are so abundant in stunning creativity that it spreads to us and sparks our own fire. I would love to see a movie featuring these pieces based on the future!
This is like the finest medicine for 2020. Dream come true.
She has such a unique vision...absolutely beautiful!
WE are too too fortunate to be able to see this on video. never never would I ever get to see in real time. Beautiful. THe finest of fine art.
Поразительно!!! Превосходно!!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Лёгкость, грация, четкость линий, а какая невероятная пластика!!!!! Браво Мастеру!!!!!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Восторгаюсь её талантом!!!! Это прекрасно!!!😍
Always inspiring. Such thoughtful, transporting work consistently coming from Iris and team.
Totally amazing.......Iris van Herpen magical dresses.... and Dutch National Ballet...... fantastic combination!!!!!!!!!
Onderwaterwereld prachtig vastgelegd.(geraamte van een scholletje) Ook grassen en boomtakken kunnen zo gracieus meedansen met de wind. Een mens die deze sereniteit van de natuur zo prachtig kan weergeven. Bravo.
This brought tears to my eyes! Exquisite collaboration ✨✨✨
Sublime elegance! A standing ovation for dancer designer musicians and te entire crew who made this wonderful movie. THANKS!
This is perfection in every details. the ballet dancer, film production (cameramen movement director producer editor), and obviously Iris Van Herpen itself is beyond imagination. Work perfectly together.
Beautifully shot film, mesmerising clothes, elegant dancing. Thank you for this little moment of beauty.
i am in tears. thank you to all the artist who made this.
This film is captivating and needed to be longer -- there's too much genius to be contained in short film. I'm also convinced that Iris van Herpen's runways shows need to feature dancers, not only models, so we can see how the clothes can REALLY move and come alive...simply brilliant every time!
as usual....groundbreaking, emotional and pure art....when married to ballet...inspiring.
The way it flows is beautiful. I think Iris should do a fashion show with dancers instead of models. Different dancers bringing different inspiration and emotions to dresses she creates.
A true master of contemporary haute couture. Exquisite creations.
The sculpture of air...the artist have given solidity at the air in a emotional sequence of movement that become reality...like a miricle...like a kiss on the heart... like a tuch of the soul....thanks...vea
Stunning; the art of ballet , the art of clothing design, the art of filmmaking, the art of creativity, the beauty of combining all in magnificent and mesmerizing motion, pictures, and movies...my goodness, this is so unique by any means and so graceful that it’s hard to take your eyes off the performance
WOWW MESMERISING! jingjing mao is an incredible dancer and her flawless lines bring such stucture to Iris' dreamlike style,brava!
This is beyond magical.❤❤ Also in this video you can observe a display of the futuristic ballet moves. I love it.😍
Beautiful! Gasping for more! Graceful combination of movement and robes🌹🌟💓
This is the logical step forward, fussion with art in motion. Bravo!
I got chills watching this! UTTERLY PHENOMINAL!
WOW!!! The perfect marriage of JingJing dance, Iris dresses, and magic! Like the trinity of creation: the shape (Iris), the soul (JingJng), and the spirit (dance by Juanjo Arqués and music by Thijs de Vlieger and Lavinia Meijer).
Geweldig Iris. Prachtig hoe de stoffen om de danseres heen draaien. Werkelijk fenomenaal❤️❤️
Iris has convinced me, with this video, that I need to go watch ballet shows
An absolute treat for your eyes... the complex design, the intricate details and flowy silhouette

Every piece is art, lending itself to stunning structure and movement. I am so in love with her designs
#AMAZING #FashionForward #DesignThinking @Iris van Herpen #Team!! #Great #Dance #Collaboration!
This is so mesmerising and pleasing to look at.
The movement and costumes are glorious. I'm deaf and this is really fulfilling even without being able to hear the music.
literally the composition, the waves, the shapes; i'm speechless.
Extraordinary combination of costumes and dance. A dream for the eyes!
Thanks for such a beautiful art presentation. Pure emotion.
Jingling Mao she is pure beauty and perfection.. Amazing!!!
I'll never stop being in total awe of her dresses. It's... something. Pure art.
A mesmerizing blend of Art and Artist. ♥️
Iris made another stunning dresses! And the way the ballerina brings these dresses to life is amazing too!
Mesmerising and breathtakingly stunning in motion, a true underrated genius
I am floored. The sensuality of the whole thing, the way you can see nature, the elements, the softness with the strength of that dancing, that white dress that looks like an alien exoskeleton, (I need a t-shirt in that material, like NOW!!!) I can't even express the emotions going through me after seeing this. I can't stop rewatching it! Incredible!!!
😍I can't put into words how beautiful this dancer moves plus how the camera captures the flow of fabric.
Mesmerizing, ethereal & delicate!
Потрясающе.Очень гармоничное,точное,завораживающее сочетание балета и искусства Iris van Herpen !
the movement of the garment, the model, the music, it's perfection.
IVH deserves the nobel prize for innovation in fashion architecture.
I think this is the future of fashion shows. I wouldn't be surprised that in the future, fashion brands will start showcasing their runway in a film like this. This is so breathtaking! The presentation of the dresses is not boring, it showcases the utility and beauty of the garment and it is presented in the most entertaining way that is not boring. The model that is used, is of course stunningly beautiful, but unlike other runway models, she has a talent. This film has showcased the future of fashion, runway, and modelling in 5 minutes.
Классика, пластика, просто космос и фантастика!!! Просто супер! Вам успехов и процветания. Россия, Сочи.
Totally mesmerised!
