Wearable Structure: Head Organized
As estruturas vestíveis materializam nossa luta diária entre o controle e o caos. O equilíbrio é precário e pode tombar para um lado ou para o outro em um instante. Os materiais de construção tradicionalmente usados para construir ambientes residenciais ou outras garantias arquitetônicas são usados de forma frenética. Rapidamente, e talvez desesperadamente tentando impor ordem a uma situação que está saindo do controle. O papel tradicional de estrutura ou estabilidade torna-se móvel quando colocado na figura, permitindo ao indivíduo entrar na ilusão de estabilidade. O elemento móvel / vestível da obra subverte ainda mais as tentativas de controle e ordem. Semelhante à maneira como a água abrirá um novo caminho em torno de uma obstrução, o participante encontra novas maneiras de se movimentar em suas rotinas diárias de maneira normal.
The Unseen Collection
Experimental fashion studio The Unseen has produced a range of accessories that alter in response to environmental changes using inks developed from its colour-shifting wearable sculptures. Bowker has previously embedded her specially developed ink into feathered, leather and gemstone-encrusted headdresses. The Unseen also presented a sculptural jacket that changes colour depending on the wearer’s mood.

Autumn/Winter 2019
This season van Herpen collaborated with American kinetic sculptor Anthony Howe, whose pieces are powered by the wind. His spherical Omniverse sculpture had pride of place in the Élysée Montmartre venue. The designer said she was compelled by the way its arching vertebrae, spinning on a curving axis, simultaneously expand and contract. Her finale dress was made in the image of Omniverse, with rotating wings constructed of aluminum, stainless steel, and feathers.
BALANCE
Temporary sculptures, perpetual motion, focus, energy and balance. mandalas are deconstructed shortly after their completion. This is an allegory, done as a metaphor of the impermanence of life. An incredible kinetic sculpture is built of palm branches by the sculptor, it is amazingly held together only by a feather.
Birdie
The original Birdie suspension lamp was designed by Ingo Maurer himself in 2002. Birdie is the smaller version of the Birds Birds Birds chandelier and is suited for ceiling heights of 230 to 260 cm. With 12 halogen low-volt bulbs, extra produced by Ingo Maurer, and handmade wings of goose feathers this lustre becomes an extraordinary design lamp. The individual wires can be turned, bent and shaped whichever way you like.
