Press Release Johannes Vermeer Award 170905 Def PRESS RELEASE 5 September 2017 Johannes Vermeer Award 2017 goes to Iris van Herpen © photo by ioulex The Dutch Culture Minister, Dr Jet Bussemaker, has selected fashion designer Iris van Herpen as the recipient of this year’s Johannes Vermeer Award, the Netherlands’ annual state prize for the arts. The jury, chaired by Els van der Plas, voted unanimously to nominate Van Herpen, citing her longstanding prominence in the world of international fashion. Van Herpen is receiving the award for her entire oeuvre. The award ceremony will take place in The Hague on 30 October 2017. The jury praised Van Herpen for her pioneering and interdisciplinary designs, in which her exceptional talent and unbridled curiosity lead her to explore innovative digital technologies and traditional craftsmanship. Born in 1984, Iris van Herpen studied fashion at ArtEZ Institute of the Arts in Arnhem, interning at Alexander McQueen in London and Claudy Jongstra in Amsterdam. She started her own label in 2007 from her Arnhem studio, developing a unique design ethos that she calls “New Couture”. Her work is both futuristic and sculptural and has featured in various exhibitions, for example at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, the Cooper Hewitt Museum in New York, and the Palais de Tokyo in Paris. Six of her dresses have been acquired by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Luminaries such as Björk, Lady Gaga, Beyoncé and Tilda Swinton wear her designs. Van Herpen’s couture arises at the interface of the arts, technology and fashion. She develops her collections in close collaboration with architectures, choreographs, musicians, photographers and filmmakers, but also with researchers at CERN in Lausanne and MIT in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Van Herpen’s multidisciplinary approach has expanded the boundaries of couture and, according to the jury, challenged the customary concept of fashion as, at most, an “applied art”. Van Herpen, however, sees its sculptural quality as one of the guiding principles of her collections, a quality that allows her to explore such concepts as wearability and trendiness. She also weaves multiple artistic disciplines into her work and uses innovative technologies not normally associated with fashion. Her approach has influenced other disciplines and artists and is driving a fundamental change in the way people think about fashion. Van Herpen has received numerous awards since 2009, including the ANDAM Awards Grand Prix (2014), the Grand Prize of the European Commission – STARTS (2016) and the Grand Seigneur Award (2016). She was inducted into the prestigious La Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode in 2011 and became a member of the Society of Arts, part of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences, in 2015. About the award The Johannes Vermeer Award is the Netherlands’ state prize for the arts. It consists of the sum of 100,000 euros, which the winner may use to fund a special project in his or her specific field. The Dutch government established the award in 2009, its aim being to honour and encourage exceptional artistic talent. The award is intended for artists working in the Netherlands and across all disciplines. The jury for this year’s Johannes Vermeer Award consists of Els van der Plas (chairperson), Michel van der Aa (laureate in 2015), Ann Demeester, Jeroen Krabbé and Stephan Sanders. The Johannes Vermeer Award will be presented to Iris van Herpen in the Ridderzaal in The Hague on 30 October 2017. Note for editors, not for publication: Jury guidance and overall coordination of the Johannes Vermeer Award have been entrusted to the Boekman Foundation, study centre for arts, culture and related policy.

Questions about what it means to be feminist today raised among us. Women protest groups call for attention to discuss their position in society. The methods to do so are interesting and somehow problematic. Such as in the case of ‘Femen’, who use their bodies to battle sexism. The angelic appearance and the rough message they deliver is very provocative and seems to fit in with the way women are objectified. However they also do this to themselves in a way. It is hard to decide what to think of women who are so explicit about being a feminist and at the same time do everything to – in a way- offend women.

  • Extraits Iris Van Herpen + Daniel Widrig
    Iris van Herpen — e travail de la jeune créatrice néerlandaise Iris van Herpen (1984) est tout à fait Lexceptionnel dans le monde de la Haute Couture. Diplômée de l’ArtEZ Hogeschool voor de kunsten d’Arnhem en 2006, elle crée sa propre marque en 2007 après avoir débuté chez Alexander McQueen, à Londres. Très rapidement (dès 2009), elle reçoit ses premiers Dutch Media, Design et Fashion Awards et gagne une notoriété internationale lorsque la Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture parisienne lui ouvre officiellement ses portes en juillet 2011 pour la collection Capriole. En 2012, c’est au tour du Groninger Museum de lui consacrer une exposition. Conjuguant savoir-faire artisanal de haut niveau et techniques numériques de pointe (impression 3D), Iris van Herpen propose des robes radicalement nouvelles aux volumes étranges qui évoquent des univers organiques complexes. Le choix qu’elle fait de matériaux innovants – plastique à effet optique, gaze métallique, résine, cuir, polyamide, plexiglas – et leur traitement sophistiqué, engendrent des « objets » oniriques qui s’éloignent délibérément du vêtement et transforment les silhouettes en insectes, en végétaux ou autres structures vivantes, attirantes ou repoussantes. Cette exploration au cœur de la matière et de sa mise en œuvre, conduite par la créatrice au travers de multiples collaborations – notamment avec les architectes Daniel Widrig, Isaie Bloch, Neri Oxman, Julia CRISTALLIZATION, 2010 Koerner ou encore Philip Beesley –, débouche sur une nouvelle conception de l’ornement, (COLLABORATION DANIEL WIDRIG) — de la lumière et du mouvement qui animent de l’intérieur chaque tenue. L’inspiration naît au départ d’une structure, d’un matériau ou d’associations d’idées et non pas d’une forme décidée a priori.

April 26th 2015) ii Abstract Digital Innovations, Environment and Fashion is the title of my senior Capstone thesis project for the Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Fashion Design at Syracuse University. For this project, I designed a collection of six complete outfits that explore the theme of the natural environment and technology. The thesis project was presented in a public fashion show at Syracuse University at the end of April 2015. In this creative reflective essay, a brief history of technology in fashion design will be explored. In chapter two, my inspirations and research in fashion design, art, and photography all support my decisions for choosing and expanding on my Capstone topic. The last portion of this essay is dedicated to an explanation of my design process and to a discussion of the creation of my collection in the spring of 2015.

  • 1 Design Issues: Fashion Exhibitions and Scholarship at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston Michelle Finamore Penny Vinik Curator
    Design Issues: Fashion Exhibitions and Scholarship at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston Michelle Finamore Penny Vinik Curator of Fashion Arts, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston Abstract The presentation addresses how three costume exhibitions at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston incorporate design scholarship and interdisciplinary studies in an approach that links the exhibition topics with an array of popular and academic interests. The 2013/14 exhibition Think Pink explored the social and cultural meanings of the color pink from the eighteenth century through the present and is a good case study of how design scholarship can inform a museum exhibition in a way that is approachable to the general public. The idea that color is gendered is certainly not a new one in design scholarship, but it is not one that has not been explored through museum objects. This cross-disciplinary exhibition, which attracted 89,000 visitors, used paintings, prints, objects, fashion, and jewelry to tell its story. Public reception and press attention was positive and widespread, helped along by the changes related to gay rights and ideas of gender fluidity that are percolating in popular culture. The 2014/15 Hollywood Glamour: Fashion and Jewelry from the Silver Screen was a co-curated exhibition and included varied media to address the more scholarly concept of how glamour is a constructed ideal. The exhibition examined concepts such as the screen image versus reality, the differences between fashion and costume, and the seemingly endless appeal of Hollywood escapism (evident in the 102,000 visitors over a six month run). The wall labels incorporated these themes and also used the interactivity of objects, imagery, and moving images to make scholarly points in a fashion that engages the visitor.
