This year’s Met Gala saw four gowns designed by fashion designer艾里斯·范·赫本（Iris Van Herpen）displayed on the red carpet, each featuring elements of 3D printing techniques.
The designs were worn by singer and actress Dove Cameron, singer-songwriter Teyana Taylor, model and activist Winnie Harlow, and Sweden’s ‘most stylish persona’ Fredrik Robertsson.
Van Herpen has also announced she will be auctioning off two custom gowns produced for last year’s Met Gala later this month, with all proceeds going towards the preservation of the Amazon Rainforest.
A fashion 3D printing pioneer
For more than a decade, Van Herpen has been at the forefront of integrating 3D printing and digital manufacturing techniques into haute couture fashion design. The Dutch designer has an extensive body of work that incorporates the use of 3D printing and other technologies, having first designed her “Crystallization” 3D printed top back in 2010.
Since then, she has designed and produced 3D printed fashion pieces for famous celebrities such asBjork, Beyonce, and Lady Gaga. Working with the likes ofStratasysand实现, van Herpen’s 3D printed designs have also featured on the巴黎时装周的时装秀in recent years, including a gownsown onto Game of Thrones actress Gwendoline Christiein real-time, and a“Magnetic Motion” collectioninspired by the Large Hadron Collider.
Embedded within a number of van Herpen’s designs is a“叶子”制造技术developed in partnership withtu delft，这使她能够将3D打印细腻的叶子图案直接印在精美的半透明织物上。她在2019年首次亮相3D printed “Cellchemy” face jewelry在Musee des Beaux-Artswhich she also designed alongside the university.
去年的大都会盛宴custom-designed a striking gown for Grimes, a Canadian musician and partner of billionaire business magnate Elon Musk, inspired by the recently released film adaptation of Frank Herbert’s American novel, Dune. The “Bene Gesserit” gown is one of those van Herpen is planning to auction off later this month, and features hand-cast lightning bolt shapes arranged in a 3D laser-cut pattern.
Van Herpen on show at the 2022 Met Gala
For this year’s Met Gala, van Herpen was joined on the red carpet by Cameron, Taylor, Harlow, and Robertsson who each wore her 3D designs.
卡梅伦的定制“螺旋星云”礼服从今年的“镀金时代”主题及其推动界限和拥抱创新的理想中汲取了灵感。礼服将19世纪的纹理刺绣转变为细纱线，这些纱线是用袖子和下摆的尖端向外手向外刺绣的。将白色织物层与回收的薄膜粘合在一起，然后切成3D激光切割并缝合到模板上。然后将艺术品整合到衣服的图案中，衣服总共需要600小时，10人要完成。
哈洛（Harlow）的“透射”连衣裙得到了她的“思维运动”冠冕的补充，范·赫本（Van Herpen）与动力学艺术家凯西·柯兰（Casey Curran）合作创造，而泰勒（Taylor）的“神经层”礼服是由醒目的脸珠宝件使栩栩如生的。
Meanwhile, Robertsson made his debut at the Gala wearing his bold “Quantum” jumpsuit, which caught the attention of the cameras thanks to its feathery embellishments. Making a sustainability statement, the jumpsuit is made from upcycled fabric that was digitally printed and then heat bonded to recycled mylar. The panels were then 3D laser cut into springing “feathers” stitched into the main garment. In total, the jumpsuit was crafted by 12 people over the course of 750 hours.
去拍卖
除了今年的大都会大会（Met Gala）出现外，范·赫本（Van Herpen）还宣布，她将于5月25日晚些时候通过Bonhams拍卖她的两种礼服设计。这两件衣服都在去年的大都会晚会上展示了“ Bene Gesserit”服装由Grimes和“ Aeternus”女演员加布里埃尔联盟（Gabriele Union）穿着的礼服。
每个地块都将包括范·赫本（Van Herpen）签署的礼服及其原始草图，以及即将举行的巴黎高级时装时装秀的门票。拍卖的所有收益将捐赠给亚马逊保护协会and the雨林信托基金会.
