@irisvanherpen — Inside the Atelier ~ The Making of The ‘Airo’ Dress
The ‘Airo’ Dress emerged through 15 weeks of experimentation, couture craftsmanship, and engineering in collaboration with @a.a.murakami
15,000 hand-formed iridescent glass bubbles were individually bonded into place with UV light, while hidden microprocessors and pneumatic systems choreograph the release of floating bubbles with helium into the air. Reflecting the atomic anatomy of the human body — composed of 99.9% empty space — the dress dissolves and reforms with every movement, blurring the boundaries between body, material, and atmosphere.
Brought to life over 2,550 hours inside the Iris van Herpen atelier, it was created for @eileengu for this year’s Met Gala.

A dress made with glowing, moving and reacting plasma.
The state of matter we encounter least often in everyday life is probably the most common state of ordinary matter in the visible universe. 🧡

Thousands of individually hand-blown glass spheres are suspended across illusion tulle, dissolving the silhouette into particles of light.
Part of the @irisvanherpen collection inspired by vibrating stars, plasma and the invisible forces that shape the universe.

Outtakes of @marisa_dos_santos swimming elegantly as if she had done this many times before.
The process of blacking out the sides of an entire Olympic sized pool and then lighting it with one huge Arri hanging above the pool and then filming with a team of specialized scuba diving camera operators was unreal 😄

Mona Patel's Met Gala dress was designed by Iris van Herpen. The arm pieces were made by Casey Curran. Together, with Law Roach overseeing everything as Mona's stylist, they formed one incredible look that became a sensation online. It was really wonderful to be a part of this moment and be the documentarian of all this. I'm quite passionate about fashion and art, and this was just a dream to witness.

@eileengu in ethereal art by @irisvanherpen and @a.a.murakami.
Created in response to this year’s Met Gala theme, Fashion is Art, “The Airo Dress exists only as
a moment,” the collaborators say. “It brings together the material and the
immaterial, where the body, the dress, and the space around her blur into one
continuous field, dissolving into air. ”
In this suspended state, even perception itself is
gently blown away, as form gives way to movement and disappearance.

A glimpse behind the creation of @irisvanherpen Helix Nebula dress, developed in collaboration with plasma specialist @mundymhepburn
Two sculptural forms of hand-blown glass contain glowing plasma that responds to human touch. When worn, the body becomes part of the electrical circuit, transforming the dress into a living interaction between fashion, science and the human body.
The glowing light is produced as excited atoms release energy in the form of photons.
The same fundamental process that illuminates distant nebulae.
