For the stunning Iris van Herpen Spring/Summer 2021 Haute Couture collection, the Dutch fashion designer collaborated with Parley for the Oceans. Ocean Plastic fabric was made from upcycled marine debris. The collection itself was inspired by Merlin Sheldrake’s novel Entangled Life, which tells the story of how fungi make our worlds, change our minds, and shape our futures. The book's influence on the runway show was undeniable, with designs featuring pleats and hovering ...fins that moved as if they were alive. Of course [couture] clients expect the highest quality out there, so you don’t want to go sustainable if you lower the quality. We are now at a moment where the quality [between an organic silk and a recycled polyester] is completely equal. Now it’s really a matter of decision, it’s not a matter of choosing a quality. Basically, there’s not a lot of reason not to use sustainable materials anymore, other than changing your mindset, elaborated Iris van Herpen, who is known for fusing technology with traditional haute couture craftsmanship. https://theimpression.com/iris-van-herpen-symbiosis-spring/ . . . #IrisVanHerpen #HauteCouture #SS21 #SustainableFashion #ParleyfortheOceans #IssaPR

Issue 01, was... created in collaboration with many other creatives, including Barbara Hulanicki, Missy Elliott, Walter Pfeiffer Stottor, Jonathan Frantini, and Masayoshi Matsumoto, and is out now.
