Member Mornings: Iris van Herpen

About this event

Members: Before the Museum opens to the public on Saturdays, enjoy exclusive morning access to Iris van Herpen: Sculpting the Senses—an exhibition celebrating one of the most forward-thinking fashion designers of her generation. Worn by luminaries including Beyoncé, Björk, Cate Blanchett, Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga, and Ariana Grande, Van Herpen’s designs draw on biomimicry, fractal geometry, and neuroscience, transforming cutting-edge discoveries into sculptural gowns and ethereal fabrics. In Sculpting the Senses, more than 140 extraordinary haute couture creations are shown alongside contemporary artworks and designs, as well as scientific artifacts and natural history specimens. Rare archival materials and a soundscape by composer Salvador Breed add to this interdisciplinary, multisensory experience, revealing the experimental spirit that has reshaped 21st-century fashion. Free for Members; registration is required and available starting March 23. Standard Membership admission benefits apply. Additional guest tickets can be purchased for $21. For accessibility accommodations, including ASL interpretation, email access@brooklynmuseum.org.
