Iris van Herpen x Dutch National Ballet ~ 'Biomimicry' Short Film

- Iris van Herpen and Dutch National Ballet debut collaboration by unveiling the short film entitled ‘Biomimicry,’ featuring Jingjing Mao.
For the ‘Biomimicry’ film, Iris van Herpen and Dutch National Ballet explore the symbiotic relationship between the metamorphic force in which fashion and dance interlace. The film, directed by Ryan McDaniels, sees the mesmeric dancer JingJing Mao undulating into liquescent shapes and transcending into graceful figures that reflect her myriad of movements.
Dazing in the warm shades of technicoloured organza, Mao defies gravity while gracefully floating through the air. Other times, the dancer sets translucent 3D hand-casted PU into motion, creating new patterns that play with the viewer’s perspective. Fashion and dance become a catalyst for transformation, unfolding the blue gown into spheroid silhouettes.
The concept of the creation stems from the notion of biomimicry - the design and production of materials and systems that are modelled on biological processes. In line with Iris van Herpen’s continuous pursuit to materialise the invisible forces that structure the world, the film focusses on the bond between humanity and nature.
The dancer - symbolising strength and determination - finds herself in a future in which mankind, science and nature are closely interwoven. This is also mirrored within the music, composed by Thijs de Vlieger and Lavinia Meijer. Deeply rooted in dichotomies, the music encompasses subjects such as machines and nature as well as soul and control, searching for unfamiliar synthesis in familiar organisms.
This synergic collaboration comes as a natural evolution of Iris van Herpen’s multidisciplinary approach to the art of fashion and matches seamlessly with Dutch National Ballet’s practice of co-creating with leading visual artists, photographers and designers. Van Herpen’s background in classical ballet metamorphoses this collaboration into a hybrid dance in search for freedom of form. The brand’s pioneering vision of coalescing fashion and dance comes to life through JingJing Mao who is guided by Movement Director Juanjo Arqués, a gifted creative associate with Dutch National Ballet. Arqués made intuitive use of the surrounding eclectic elements to explore the direction Iris van Herpen’s designs take him.

Iris van herpen dresses are made for movement , they are stunning on photos , but moving , they're breathtaking.
Took the words right out of my mouth!
Totally agree
I totally concur!
Bring on the moment when THIS 👆🏼 is how Her creations are presented on the catwalk 🌟🐈⬛ 🌟
They are so graceful and almost appear to be under water.
La delgadez extrema no es bella
Da angustia
Iris has the most unique artistic vision I've ever seen!
That is so true
I think she got inspired by the unique Alexander Mcqueen
Possibly ! The drapping is Mcqueen like
The way Van Herpen works with light and movement and texture so harmoniously makes me want to cry
Me too. Seriously emotional right now.
Touched by the pure nature. You feel with all your emotions that you are a peace of it.
Me too.. Amazing.... Winderful !!! 😍👍👍👍💟💟💟🌹🌹🌹👌
Such a beautiful statement to make 💜
I was crying since the first IVH video I watched.
That transparent dress is absolutely stunning. Love the way your clothing moves on a dancer.
Madonna should be wearing these creations on her next. Art this amazing deserve an icon of divine artistry.
If architecture has Zaha Hadid, haute couture has Iris van Herpen
Boom! This is the comment! ✨✨✨
This is not haute couture, this is avant garde.
@@riasharma3927 this is at the intersection of haute couture and avant-garde

The absolute ART of this
This is why Lady Gaga is extremely Cringy with her Self Proclaimed “Art” album. This Art the kind that suits Bjork, Tori Amos, and Madonna.
The navy dress moved in perfect sync with the dancers movements, absolutely stunning. Bravo to Iris van Herpen and the team behind all of this.
Those dresses looks like bioluminescent jellyfish in the deep sea......flow of the fabrics😳
Jingjing Mao looks as if she has the Spirit of Ecstasy running through her in some of those slow-mo movements.
The movement of that third dress was magical
Wonderful directing and dancing as well...just lovely.
Oh this Ballerina got to wear some AMAZING peices! Loved seeing all the textures of these brilliant fabrics showcased by her dancing. 🥰
Dutch national ballet waw
WE are too too fortunate to be able to see this on video. never never would I ever get to see in real time. Beautiful. THe finest of fine art.
The way she turns classical ballet into contemporary dance just by the angle of her arms gives this video a surreal vibe
This is like the finest medicine for 2020. Dream come true.
Absolutely captivating. IVH pieces are so abundant in stunning creativity that it spreads to us and sparks our own fire. I would love to see a movie featuring these pieces based on the future!
She has such a unique vision...absolutely beautiful!
Поразительно!!! Превосходно!!!!!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Лёгкость, грация, четкость линий, а какая невероятная пластика!!!!!
Браво Мастеру!!!!!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Восторгаюсь её талантом!!!!
Это прекрасно!!!😍
*THIS IS ART, AT IT'S FINEST*
I hope that one day, I'll be able to wear one of their dresses😌
Tell that to the Fraudulent Lady Gaga and her not very intelligent Fans.
Meee tooo 😭
Art on art...
@@eduardochavacano When singer judges fashion...🗿
Thhhhank YYYYouuuu Ten thousand times to let us enjoying this free on youtube
Iris has convinced me, with this video, that I need to go watch ballet shows
IVH is the most innovative designer of our day!
The sculpture of air...the artist have given solidity at the air in a emotional sequence of movement that become reality...like a miricle...like a kiss on the heart... like a tuch of the soul....thanks...vea
Onderwaterwereld prachtig vastgelegd.(geraamte van een scholletje) Ook grassen en boomtakken kunnen zo gracieus meedansen met de wind. Een mens die deze sereniteit van de natuur zo prachtig kan weergeven. Bravo.
Always inspiring. Such thoughtful, transporting work consistently coming from Iris and team.
IVH deserves the nobel prize for innovation in fashion architecture.
Jingling Mao she is pure beauty and perfection.. Amazing!!!
Geweldig Iris. Prachtig hoe de stoffen om de danseres heen draaien. Werkelijk fenomenaal❤️❤️
A true master of contemporary haute couture. Exquisite creations.
Классика, пластика, просто космос и фантастика!!! Просто супер! Вам успехов и процветания. Россия, Сочи.
The movement and costumes are glorious. I'm deaf and this is really fulfilling even without being able to hear the music.
Потрясающе.Очень гармоничное,точное,завораживающее сочетание балета и искусства Iris van Herpen !
#AMAZING #FashionForward #DesignThinking @Iris van Herpen #Team!! #Great #Dance #Collaboration!
This brought tears to my eyes! Exquisite collaboration ✨✨✨
The way it flows is beautiful. I think Iris should do a fashion show with dancers instead of models. Different dancers bringing different inspiration and emotions to dresses she creates.
This film is captivating and needed to be longer -- there's too much genius to be contained in short film. I'm also convinced that Iris van Herpen's runways shows need to feature dancers, not only models, so we can see how the clothes can REALLY move and come alive...simply brilliant every time!
I think this is the future of fashion shows. I wouldn't be surprised that in the future, fashion brands will start showcasing their runway in a film like this. This is so breathtaking! The presentation of the dresses is not boring, it showcases the utility and beauty of the garment and it is presented in the most entertaining way that is not boring. The model that is used, is of course stunningly beautiful, but unlike other runway models, she has a talent. This film has showcased the future of fashion, runway, and modelling in 5 minutes.
Exquisite.....movement, body, music, dance, fabric design, technique, rhythm....mystery
One of the best living artists, I bow to you IVH
Sublime elegance! A standing ovation for dancer designer musicians and te entire crew who made this wonderful movie. THANKS!
Beauty is in the creation of faith!
This is perfection in every details. the ballet dancer, film production (cameramen movement director producer editor), and obviously Iris Van Herpen itself is beyond imagination. Work perfectly together.
Totally amazing.......Iris van Herpen magical dresses.... and Dutch National Ballet...... fantastic combination!!!!!!!!!
Beautifully shot film, mesmerising clothes, elegant dancing. Thank you for this little moment of beauty.
WOW WOW WOW! I AM an former figure skater and 24 year ice skating coach. I really appreciate the beauty, drama, body/soul movement pouring out in this piece! Sublime!
iris’ designs are in another realm of dimension, a form of life
i am in tears. thank you to all the artist who made this.
This made me so emotional, I'm so speechless
as usual....groundbreaking, emotional and pure art....when married to ballet...inspiring.
Amazing video! Great dresses, enhanced by mesmerizing music and movements!
Will watch again while on drugs for sure!
Stunning; the art of ballet , the art of clothing design, the art of filmmaking, the art of creativity, the beauty of combining all in magnificent and mesmerizing motion, pictures, and movies...my goodness, this is so unique by any means and so graceful that it’s hard to take your eyes off the performance
Normally I will not pay to go see a dance show, let alone a ballet. But here, just on the announcement of a cooperation with Iris van Herpen, I would buy the ticket with my eyes closed certain that the dream will be at the rendezvous.
jingling Mao embodies all the elements in perfection in equilibrium flawless mastery but that nakedness could not render alone design brings to her the ultimate dimension and together expresses divine six dimensions every possibilities in a dreamlike flight albeit real.....amazing
This is beyond magical.❤❤ Also in this video you can observe a display of the futuristic ballet moves. I love it.😍
ça doit être un tel ravissement créatif pour une danseuse ou un chorégraphe de faire un travail de symbiose avec de tels costumes.... des vêtements qui vibrent et font rayonner le moindre geste... une autre dimension de la danse et de la mode. BRAvissimo!!!
Three of my favorite things together; Ms. van Herpen's work, Dutch National Ballet, and biomimicry.
Very cool. Incredibly well filmed and edited, excellent choice of music, super
The ending and the music are so beautiful. Looking forward to seeing wilder performance with those stunning dresses!
L'excellence, la splendeur à portée humaine ! Bravo...
it really helps me thru this pandemic crisis , watching beautiful Ballet and Iris van Herpen masterpices of work
WOWW MESMERISING! jingjing mao is an incredible dancer and her flawless lines bring such stucture to Iris' dreamlike style,brava!
Блестящая идея!!!💖🌺❤
Продолжайте , пожалуйста💎
I am floored. The sensuality of the whole thing, the way you can see nature, the elements, the softness with the strength of that dancing, that white dress that looks like an alien exoskeleton, (I need a t-shirt in that material, like NOW!!!) I can't even express the emotions going through me after seeing this. I can't stop rewatching it! Incredible!!!
Her designs make every human movement the center of art. Its astounding! Best designer alive in our day!
Spectacular, moving and brilliant! Iris is the most amazing artist, her dresses are so exquisite, so unique and feline. She is pure genius!😀
This is the logical step forward, fussion with art in motion. Bravo!
What an exquisite, brilliant collab! I never would have thought of it, but it's so perfect!
An absolute treat for your eyes... the complex design, the intricate details and flowy silhouette
I'll never stop being in total awe of her dresses. It's... something. Pure art.
Thank you!!!!!!
Your talent is sophisticated enough to take me to journey in my own space
Iris made another stunning dresses! And the way the ballerina brings these dresses to life is amazing too!
😍I can't put into words how beautiful this dancer moves plus how the camera captures the flow of fabric.
Stunning!! This brand should CHOOSE their clientele strictly, no matter how wealthy the purchasers can be. If you are not an elite dancer, or A-list model or a rare average human being who is tall, graceful and knows how to move your body the right way, PLEASE don’t wear it no matter how cool you think you are! Don’t ruin the art!
Every piece is art, lending itself to stunning structure and movement. I am so in love with her designs
Beautiful! Gasping for more! Graceful combination of movement and robes🌹🌟💓
This is a perfect match. Embracing Van Herpen as a national treasure!
Mesmerising and breathtakingly stunning in motion, a true underrated genius
literally the composition, the waves, the shapes; i'm speechless.
Какое великолепное исполнение!!!
Автор работы так же, композиция всё хорошо сработанные! Спасибо большое всем за такую красоту! Удачи вам и успехов вашему творчеству! 👍👍❤️🌹 🌹🌹
The navy dress reminded me of the fighting fish. Gorgeous, beautiful and delicate yet dangerous and dark
I got chills watching this! UTTERLY PHENOMINAL!
Extraordinary combination of costumes and dance. A dream for the eyes!
This is the most Artistic thing I’ve ever seen 😻
This is so mesmerising and pleasing to look at.
the movement of the garment, the model, the music, it's perfection.
...visual delight....the craftmanship is seamless
Absolutely magic ! As a dancer I would love to wear these dresses !!!! Wonderful film !!!!
A mesmerizing blend of Art and Artist. ♥️
WOW!!! The perfect marriage of JingJing dance, Iris dresses, and magic!
Like the trinity of creation: the shape (Iris), the soul (JingJng), and the spirit (dance by Juanjo Arqués and music by Thijs de Vlieger and Lavinia Meijer).
This is INCREDIBLE BEAUTY!!!
That shade of blue is a vision
The movement of her fabric is pure art♥️ She is amazing
Amazing unique flow of artistry. I love how all this seem so beyond everything else. For me this is view of future.
The blue dress reminded of the wings of the hummibg bird in slow motion...it was amazing to combine the dresses with ballet dance....just perfect
