DESIGNER TO WATCH: Iris van Herpen

When attending the LONDON Fashion Week last fall, I had the great pleasure of discovering very promising designers.

Iris Van Herpen
was by far one of my favorites and I predicted a
stellar career for the London based Dutch talented woman.

I wasn't wrong since Harrod's just announced they were now selling her creations.

Iris Van Herpen is not a newcomer in the fashion sphere but this year she outdid herself and her collection made a strong effect with her interlaced leather pleats, reminiscent of a post-industrial gypsum flower. This collection, with its new volume - yet wearable- in a garment is very endearing.

Iris Van Herpen has several collections under her sleeve, but none are as impressive as this one. Sometimes, creativeness can be so grandiose but a lucky inspiration and I must admit I am very keen on following her to see if this was a lucky inspiration or if she's going to sustain the ambition.
