This was in collaboration with Anthony Howe, an American kinetic sculptor who creates wind-driven sculptures resembling pulsing, alien creatures and vortices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"852\" height=\"479\" src=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-376\/s2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/image-1-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7549\" srcset=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-376\/s2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/image-1-5.jpg 852w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-376\/s2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/image-1-5-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-376\/s2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/image-1-5-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-376\/s2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/image-1-5-508x286.jpg 508w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 852px) 100vw, 852px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Picture from<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dezeen.com\/2020\/05\/08\/iris-van-herpen-hypnosis-infinity-dress-video-interview-vdf\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.dezeen.com\/2020\/05\/08\/iris-van-herpen-hypnosis-infinity-dress-video-interview-vdf\/\"> Dezeen<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Anthony Howe usually creates movement through the use of outdoor environments. The challenge within the illusion dress and set design is how to create the same ephemeral movement of wind passing through a kinetic sculpture indoors and on a moving body. Harpen and Howe worked very closely to make the seams between mechanical movement and the fabric of the dress look seamless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"728\" height=\"475\" src=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-376\/s2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/image-1-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7550\" srcset=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-376\/s2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/image-1-6.jpg 728w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-376\/s2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/image-1-6-300x196.jpg 300w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-376\/s2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/image-1-6-508x331.jpg 508w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sourced from<a href=\"https:\/\/inhabitat.com\/anthony-howes-dazzling-kinetic-sculptures-come-to-life-with-a-gust-of-wind\/anthony-howe-kinetic-sculpture2\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/inhabitat.com\/anthony-howes-dazzling-kinetic-sculptures-come-to-life-with-a-gust-of-wind\/anthony-howe-kinetic-sculpture2\/\"> Inhabit<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Even the way the fabric is cut within the other dresses is made to mimic the movement of the kinetic sculptures. The fine cuts in combination with the optical qualities of the fabric sway and move as the models walk down the runway, making kinetic fabric. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her inspiration for the textile fabric to enhance the idea of movement was Suminagashi, which literally means &#8220;ink floating&#8221;\u00a0is an ancient Japanese technique of painting on water. This technique uses the movement of the water to create the artwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-376\/s2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/image-1-7-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7551\" srcset=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-376\/s2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/image-1-7-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-376\/s2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/image-1-7-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-376\/s2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/image-1-7-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-376\/s2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/image-1-7-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-376\/s2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/image-1-7-973x730.jpg 973w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-376\/s2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/image-1-7-508x381.jpg 508w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-376\/s2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/image-1-7.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kimono-marujyu.co.jp\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.kimono-marujyu.co.jp\/\">Source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Iris Van Herpen Collaborates with Anthony Howe.....Processes\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TYQlBzo9cYA?start=216&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>An interesting take away that could evolve from the techniques explored by Iris van Harpen is in what other ways can fabric be cut to create movement?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other fashion designers who have explored kinetic fabrics on the runway is Hussein Chalayan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sources<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dezeen.com\/2020\/05\/08\/iris-van-herpen-hypnosis-infinity-dress-video-interview-vdf\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.dezeen.com\/2020\/05\/08\/iris-van-herpen-hypnosis-infinity-dress-video-interview-vdf\/\">Interview with Iris Van Harpen<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vam.ac.uk\/articles\/the-infinity-dress-by-iris-van-herpen\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.vam.ac.uk\/articles\/the-infinity-dress-by-iris-van-herpen\">V&amp;A exhbit<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IRIS VAN HARPEN&#8217;S INFINITY DRESS &#8220;I wanted to created that balance where nature always needs to be in dialogue with the technology,&#8221; In May 2020 Iris Van Harpen,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":43,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[12],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-376\/s2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7548"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-376\/s2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-376\/s2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-376\/s2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/43"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-376\/s2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7548"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-376\/s2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7548\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7552,"href":"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-376\/s2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7548\/revisions\/7552"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-376\/s2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7548"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-376\/s2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7548"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-376\/s2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7548"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
