The coffee table book Sculpting the Senses is a compilation of Iris Herpen's work from the past sixteen years that encourages a multidisciplinary dialogue between fashion, nature, art and science. The book is a tribute to the most important fashion designer from the Netherlands

The coffee table book not only describes the most iconic designs, but also explores her vision for shaping fashion more intelligently, including forward-looking technology and craftsmanship that often blur the lines between the organic and the artificial. The book brings together one hundred striking Haute Couture designs by Iris van Herpen that transform the body into multi-sensory beings. Extraordinary close-up photographs reveal close collaboration with researchers, architects, artists and engineers for advanced materials and techniques.

This book immerses you in Van Herpen's sensory universe, uniting fashion, contemporary art, design and science through nine themes that make up the essence of Herpen's work.
