Awareness: Iris Van Herpen

It's artists like Dutch couture designer Iris Van Herpen that make me want to pursue fashion. If only I had the eye to see the kind of crazy forward-thinking designs that truly push the limits of fashion. Many of these pieces are almost unwearable, practically full on sculptures that seem to float on or around the models who walk them. To me some of the more structured ones appear to be some kind of exoskeleton. These inspire me to continue to push my own boundaries and attempt to be as wildly creative as I can, not only in the three dimensional but in all of my art explorations.
