Anouk Wipprecht Debuts Elixir, Fragrance Suits

Anouk Wipprecht, who was featured in our Hi-Fructose: New Contemporary Fashion book, recently unveiled her “Fragrance” and “Elixir” dresses, in collaboration with Cirque du Soleil. With Elixir, after answering preference questions on the SAP gadget worn on the arm, the system blends your drink and sends your concoction through the tubes and into the vial. Think the Beer Helmet of the Future.

Wipprecht describes the Fragrance process similarly. After the SAP platform is used, “capsules stored in the model’s 3D printed (SLS, PA-12) shoulder-piece are being released through servo valves. The transparent capsules holding the bottles fall into the model’s hand, and are then placed on a built-in conveyor belt at the model’s chest (based on a stepper motor), filled with the respective ingredients and handed to the participant. The fragrance design stores ingredients divided in head, body and base notes that allows for the possibility of several different mixes.”

Kostiantyn Rybak, the designer behind the brand Kofta, has said that he likes to create "between art and wearable fashion things." His “Imago” line takes notes from the natural world, with seemingly organic backpacks that recall the shapes, forms, and living things found in rainforests. The Kiev-based designer has adapted accessories reminiscent of architecture and machines in the past, yet this direction creates something that defies its manmade origins.
The "live sculptures" of Roman Ermakov combine fashion, fine art, and installation work, each offering an energy and vibrancy powered by the humans bearing his works. These creations from the Moscow-based artist enliven both the runaway and public spaces. His recent work, as shown, takes influence from the costume parties of Germany's Bauhaus school in the 1920s, where these artists' radical ideas in architecture and sculpture were also channeled.
For her new collection, Iris van Herpen collaborated with kinetic sculptor Anthony Howe, with riveting results on the runway. "Hypnosis" features several new pieces from van Herpen, who was featured on our site here. She says that Howe’s “Ominverse” sculpture serves as a “portal” into the collection.
