Some works that have always stunned me are by the fashion designer Iris van Herpen. Her designs uniquely merge nature and technology by using 3D printed fabrics to reproduce patterns and parametric structures from the natural world. I have always thought her works were the<\/em> representatives for fashion as an artform. Anecdotally, you’d think that 3D printed fabrics would be stiff and lackluster, but her pieces capture motion with incredible fluidity, thus proving her mastery of design and knowledge of nature. I imagine the algorithms contain something similar to the forLoops that we’ve discussed in this course — there are a lot of repetitive shapes with slight transformations to build a grand, cohesive piece. My personal favorite collection that she’s done is “Syntopia.” There’s something so ethereal, futuristic, but organic about it. Generally, I don’t keep up with the fashion scene, but her works have never failed to impress me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
