Paris Haute Couture 2012: Highlights From The Runway

Iris van Herpen

Dutch designer Iris van Herpen took her usual approach to fashion, twisting the natural silhouette of the human body. Using plexiglass, antique bronze and latex, her creations are truly ground-breaking. Even though the 27-year old only is a guest member of the Haute Couture catwalks, and despite the fact that it's only her second season, she is the not-so-secret highlight of the shows. Her fresh, new view on high fashion is exactly what the Chambre needed. [Photos via]
