“The collection is very future-oriented, inspired by post-humanism, by transforming identities, the metaverse, but also hyperreality, where digital reality and physical reality are becoming indistinguishable,” said

Iris van Herpen, who for 15 years has been designing for the metaverse. Inspired by Ovid’s Metamorphoses, van Herpen’s latest collection challenged the line between human reality and the theorised supernatural form, featuring 3D printed panels made of thin upcycled cloth and rippling like waves as the ultimate extension of the human body.
