Happy birthday to Iris van Herpen, the visionary designer #BornOnThisDay in 1984! 🎈

Van Herpen’s work transforms fashion into living art, redefining how we experience material, movement, and the body.

Her designs reflect the dynamic systems of the natural world, achieving the impossible with water-like sculptural gowns and air-like fabrics.
