Exhibition: Iris van Herpen Show in Paris

Museum of Decorative Arts in Paris pays tribute to Dutch fashion designer Iris van Herpen, who is today recognized as one of the most avant-garde figures of her generation. Conceived as a truly immersive and sensory exploration into the designer’s universe, this retrospective, fusing fashion, contemporary art, design and science, is structured around eight themes that identify her work’s essence.

The exhibition runs to the 28th of April 2024.
