Iris van Herpen, Jouke Verlinden & Zjenja Doubrovski
Fashion designer Iris van Herpen and associate professor Computer Aided Design Engineering Jouke Verlinden are Crossing Parallels. They collaborated on the Foliage dress, part of the Ludi Naturae collection, using a new 3D-printing method that combines plastics with natural fabrics.
Foliage Dress
Inspired by patterns found in natural and man-made landscapes, the Foliage Dress is fusing the artificial with the organic. The combination of 3D printed synthetic resin with fine fabric, puts both materials’ qualities to advantageous use. This results in a dress with the thinness
and softness of tulle.
Fashion designer Iris van Herpen, Jouke Verlinden (former associate professor Computer Aided Design Engineering) and assistant professor Zjenja Doubrovski collaboratively explored the boundaries of 3D printing on delicate fabrics. After 260 hours of printing on a
hacked 3D printer, the panels were manually draped and sewed together at Iris van Herpen’s atelier.
