Dutch fashion designer Iris van Herpen virtually invites NGV Senior Curator of Fashion and Textiles, Danielle Whitfield into her Amsterdam studio to discuss what the designer has been working on during isolation.

Recognised as one of fashion’s most innovative and talented designers, Van Herpen’s garments fuse technology and couture craftsmanship resulting in mind-bending displays of art which translate from the runway to the Gallery.
