Iris van Herpen: Sculpting the Senses New York Performances

At the Brooklyn Museum, *Iris van Herpen: Sculpting the Senses* surveys the Dutch designer’s fashion work as an art exhibition. Van Herpen launched her label in 2007 and entered the Paris haute couture system as a guest member in 2011, building a practice that threads digital techniques through handcraft. The show frames garments as engineered objects as much as clothing, placing couture inside a New York museum context rather than on a runway. One clear takeaway is how technology here functions as a material, not a gimmick.
