Walk the Walk: Iris van Herpen S/S 2013 Haute Couture Collection

I have been a fan of Iris van Herpen for quite a long time now but the last 2 Haute Couture collections just didn't fit my taste. However, she has regained my faith for this brand after this wonderful, electric S/S 2013 Haute Couture collection.

This collection is called Voltage and it is inspired by lightning and electricity. Even though the first few pieces remind me of her "Synesthesia" collection, I really like the new silhouette and also how they become more wearable than before (still, I think no one will wear these pieces to a formal events). The pieces that have really amazed me are the "sea urchin", or the "electric ball" gowns. I feel like the "sea urchins" have their own lives and move naturally when the model is walking on the runway. This is a new kind of couture wear and I find it very interesting and cool. The final metallic piece is something I can see Lady Gaga wearing at her concert in the near future.

Without a doubt, this is a wonderful collection and I am curious if this is the sneak peek of her ready to wear collection that will be shown in Paris Fashion Week. If that's the case, then I have a good feeling it will be amazing!

Since this is a very artistic collection, I don't find there is a point to review the collection like the other brands. If you want to view the entire collection, please visit Vogue Italia.
