“Form follows function’ is not a slogan with which I concur. On the contrary, I find that forms complement and change the body and thus the emotion. Movement, so essential to and in the body, is just as important in my work. By bringing form, structure and materials together in a new manner, I try to suggest and realize optimal tension and movement.” ~Iris Van Herpen

In addition to working with United Nude on a shoe titled Fang, Micro also saw van Herpen collaborating with designer Stephen Jones, artist Bart Hess, architect Isaie Bloch, and graphic designer Tara Doughans.
Fabrication of the Isaie Bloch assisted design was achieved on 3D printers at Materialise’s Belgian headquarters (using laser sintering), metal plating giving the appearance of antique bronze to the final product.
