Iris Van Herpen is a Dutch fashion designer known for incorporating science and technology into her couture designs. She often collaborates with scientists, engineers, and architects and draws inspiration from nature, art, and science. Some of her innovative techniques include 3D printing designs that look handmade and creating handmade garments that resemble 3D printed pieces.
