Iris Van Herpen presented the Fall Winter 2021 Earthrise Couture Collection during the Paris Couture Week. For the collection, Van Herpen collaborated with the female world-champion skydiver Domitille Kige who flew in the custom made gown made from thousands of blue spheres in colour gradients.
“With our planet positioned at the forefront of the global agenda more than ever before, ‘Earthrise’ explores the splendour of this blue body we call home by circling towards the amalgamated awareness to maintain the grandeur of the turning sphere we traverse along. In parallel to Van Herpen’s drive towards an interconnected approach to fashion, the 19 look collection narrates the circular processes that usher change in our sentient world by weaving a symbiotic thread between artisanal tailoring and organic craftsmanship, derived from the perception of our world as one living and breathing organism.”
