"Game of Thrones" actress @leavecaricealone looks resplendent in Iris van Herpen's Transmotion dress.⁣ ⁣ The dress is anchored by an intricate lattice of black branches — laser-cut and hand-stitched in duchess satin — that erupt into flower-like sprays of white silk organza petals, the edges crimped and undulating. What’s more, the bodice and hem sprout delicate, transparent filaments that end in seed-like black crystals. They orbit the dress and have a life of their own. ⁣ ⁣ The short film by Ryan McDaniels shows van Houten wandering a modern courtyard emoting, her limbs washed with pulsating lights, interspersed with scenes of loose black crystals magically assembling into the same lattice shape on a stone floor, and then dispersing in the wind. The film crystallizes the blend of high-tech and organic that van Herpen does so well.⁣ ⁣ Tap the link in bio for more. ⁣ ⁣ Report: Miles Socha

Paris Couture Week kicks off today with an online showcase instead of the usual lavish shows held across the French capital. ⁣ ⁣ Designers will be showing smaller collections digitally or, in some cases, no new creations at all, focusing instead on films, photos and collaborations in the hope of keeping audiences engaged. It’s fair to say there are mixed feelings about the digital format.⁣ ⁣ Silvia Venturini Fendi for instance has selected one look from each of Fendi’s former couture collections, shown between 2015 and 2019, most of them designed by the late Karl Lagerfeld. The outfits were photographed against the backdrop of the Palazzo della Civiltà, Fendi’s headquarters in Rome and home to its couture ateliers.⁣ ⁣ Tap the link in bio for more.
