We’re excited to unveil our newest collaboration with the magnificent muse Carice van Houten, in our short film ‘Transmotion’, lensed by Ryan McDaniels. To view the full short film ~ link in bio The ‘Transmotion’ dress radiates in a diaphanous bloom of white silk organza, translucent layers pleated within the confines of an undulating form. Contrasted against the frailty of the sheer petals, black branches of duchess satin were laser-cut, hand-stitched and form the central roots of the garment. This geometric lattice recalls humankind’s inclination to tame nature. Beneath the surface, the branching also reveals the synonymity of mycorrhizal networks (the Wood Wide Web) and the symbiotic nature within human communities. Like fronds frozen in time, crystalline filaments sprout from the heart of the dress. Portraying delicate new life, black seed-like crystals punctuate the tip of each stamen like strand. The concept of the creation stems from the notion of growth and regeneration. The seemingly simple seed is the embodiment of life and the potential that comes with it. A seed embedded upside down in dirt still sees the seedling growing the right way up. The dress follows symmetry in both its axis and without context, indiscernible which way is up or down. Motion and fluidity involved in the formation of tessellations highlight the capacity to shift between negatives and positives.

今次，IRIS VAN HERPEN並沒有設計出一個完整的系列，反而只得一件高訂服，更將它變成影片的核心。這位設計師以她的時尚風格，讓人們思考疫症時期的重生與演變，同時這部短片的時裝靈感，更來自荷蘭畫家MAURITS CORNELIS ESCHER的虛幻氛圍，並展示出一系列微型珍珠，將它們排列成生命之樹，而CARICE VAN HOUTEN則在無限的空間中像天使般轉動，在透明的立方體花園中，呈現出今季秋冬高級訂製時裝的新作品。

這件連身裙以沙漏式的形象描繪生命之樹，從透徹的白色絲綢，看見其褶皺栩栩如生，當中的黑色水晶更製成了生命之樹。憑藉一部虛幻的短片進入DIGITAL世界，被名為《TRANSMOTION》不但代表了設計師的思想，這件衣服更像是一部真摯的作品，介於夢想與現實之間，象徵著對質量的追求，而非對數量的追求。

IRIS VAN HERPEN向來突破科技界限，例如3D打印技術，更將技術與卓越工藝融合在一起，日前她更向《紐約時報》表示，她這次想表達的是，卻是與出生，成長和形成有關，並象徵著新的開始。
