Garment Inspiration

Im really inspired by anything and everything created by Iris Van Herpen. I love how she collabs with scientists and used new technology, like 3d printing, to create intricate detailing. I like how her garments are all just beautiful pieces of art and how this pushes the definition of fashion. I think I also view fashion as another medium of art and I like to make clothing thats more self-expressive.

I also like really outrageous and loud sculpture garments. I really like pieces that have big silhouettes and are basically beautiful costumes that are usually not worn by most people.

I also love anything with textures. I like when designers manipulate fabric and create interesting and unexpected textures. I also realize I gravitate towards clothing with interesting textures when I buy clothing. The tactile experience makes me feel less anxious so I find comfort in exploring textures when I make clothes.
