SYMPOIESIS (2025) by Iris van Herpen at Paris Haute Couture Week

❛❛ To navigate the fracturing symbiosis, Van Herpen turns to the expansive, life-giving force of the ocean as a conceptual gateway, bearing witness to its ecological transformation and transcribing it into cloth via translucently layered textures, liquidised forms, and silhouettes that surge and wane as the tide. Guided by James Lovelock’s Gaia theory, the designer examines the ocean not as a singular ecosystem but as part of a wider biospheric consciousness. 'The ocean and the atmosphere and the climate are all coupled. They are not independent systems; they are tightly woven together in a self-regulating fabric,' mused Lovelock. Therefore, the collection explores how we are one with the ocean, the largest and most important ecosystem on our planet that generates more than half of the oxygen we breathe. Seeking to convey not only the ocean’s state of peril but its innate beauty in the collection too, Van Herpen draws upon the freeform movement of Loie Fuller to embody the full spectrum of its forms, from its wild tidal power to its amorphous organisms. The pioneering muse and dancer, who van Herpen has long been inspired by as a trained dancer herself, embraced the unpredictability of fabric in motion, shrouding herself in silk and using bamboo wands to expand the improvised phantasmal shapes she drew with her body. 'She seems to be in dialogue with the forces of nature in her performances. In my eyes she was an alchemist of movement, light, and fabric, with which she merged dance into sculpture,' Van Herpen says. ❜❜

❛❛ Leonardo da Vinci designed a silver lyre in the shape of a horse's head as a diplomatic gift for Ludovico Sforza, the Duke of Milan, on behalf of Lorenzo de' Medici to foster positive relations between Florence and Milan. The horse's head design was a striking example of Leonardo's innovative approach to both art and music, demonstrating his mastery in crafting and musicality, showcasing his artistic talent and strengthening political ties between these city-states. The lyre served as a musical emissary, furthering a cultural diplomacy. ❜❜
