Looking Outwards 5: 3D Modeling

The 3D modeling project I chose to highlight is Iris van Herpen’s portfolio in 3D printed fashion. In 2011, Iris van Herpen created intricate fashion designs through 3D modeling which paved the merge between technology and fashion. Iris van Herpen is known as the Dutch fashion designer that fused technology with traditional couture craftsmanship.

What I admire the most about her and her designs is that mathematical computations are difficult enough as it is – but seeing her being able to bring life to such beautiful 3D designs is a whole other story. Her creativity and intelligence is inspiring. It’s really obvious how the themes behind each of her clothing lines really shine through in the way the clothing looks and makes somebody feel. It’s not just some random patterns – you can see the craftsmanship behind them.
