Iris van Herpen | Ludi Naturae

With 'Ludi Naturae', Iris van Herpen examines the natural and manmade landscapes of our world from a bird’s-eye view, tracing the laws of entropy. “I zoomed out to look at the earth’s skin, trying to find the forces behind the forms. Looking from this perspective, I felt inspired by the patterns of chaos and order, nature and civilization blending into infinite hybrids.” Runway video by Blitzkickers — Press: Nicolas Delarue | Karla Otto Paris Styling: Patti Wilson Casting: Maida Boina | Maxime Valentini Make-up: Terry Barber and the MAC PRO Team Hair: Martin Cullen | Streeters Manicure: Jessica Scholten | OPI Nederland Music: Salvador Breed Collaborating artist: Peter Gentenaar Creative consultant: Jerry Stafford Press release: Eugene Rabkin & Jerry Stafford Video registration: Getty Images | Blitzkickers Show production: SixUp Paris | N6 | Jonas Kraft | Popkraft Show direction: Kim Vos & Michelle den Hollander | Bdifferent Light design/ technical production: Stefan Prokop | Jurlights Frontstage Photography: Yannis Vlamos Backstage photography: Morgan O'Donovan, Molly SJ Lowe Process video: Ryan McDaniels Invitation artwork: Jon Emmony Special Thanks to: Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode Jean-Baptiste Mondino Peter Gentenaar & Pat Torley TU Delft | Jouke Verlinden | Zjenja Doubrovski Drim Stokhuijzen | Noor Aberle | Teun Verkerk Eugene Rabkin Davy Hezemans & Britt Hamersma | Spice PR Made possible by: The Johannes Vermeer Prize Embassy of the Kingdom
