MYKROMAG interviews IRIS VAN HERPEN

“I do not sculpt with wood, marble or stone, but I do search for shape and complex detailing with more uncommon materials than fabrics. I see the female body as my canvas, as my starting point. And it is not the body that I try to re-invent, because the body is a perfect whole and system, it is the image, her radiation, her expression that I want to invent as something modern or even as a vision of the future. So I try to empower the ‘invisible, non-material’ of the woman -not the body on its own- with something material as ‘clothes’.” 

- Iris Van Herpen

Megan Macintosh | Rochester Graduate 2011

I must say this is my favourite item of clothing from all the recent graduates from my alma mater – University for the Creative Arts. Megan Macintosh studied BA (Hons) Fashion Atelier (in Rochester campus, Kent). I love her modern interpretation of the trench coat, with the leather harness, giving it a slight bondage-y look.
