managed to emulate the movements of nature's wonders with inimitable technical precision. The models didn’t so much as walk down the runway but rather swayed; pleated sleeves billowed, and dress trains dramatically swished, as if they were being pulled by the currents of the ocean.
The skeleton-like structures that played out in corsets, sleeves and platform-skimming dresses – 3D lasercut to mimic the labyrinth form of dendrites – were just one of the features inspired by Spanish neuroanatomist Ramón y Cajal. Cajal explored our central nervous system in microscopic detailing, documenting his findings in revolutionary illustrations.
Additional designs engulfed the body in climbing tendrils spiralling like vines across the chest, breaking out into puffs of wavering fabric. The blues and lilacs of anthropomorphic disk-like sculptures were offset by the coral red hues of trailing dresses. A highlight was the oil painted picture of rippling water by Shelee Carruthers dancing across the floating fabric of a gargantuan sleeved dress.
Iris van Herpen did more than just explore the sensory waves of dendrites and deep sea hydroza organisms: she accomplished what Cajal achieved through drawing.
