It reminds me of Christmas ribbon striped candy!

A tour de force, for sure! And it has an 80s vibe to it...

ETA: Everything in the slideshow is amazing, but I think this is my favorite (from van Herpen's "Refinery Smoke" collection... )

Liza posted about this stuff recently. Amazing.

Amazing!

I can't stop staring at the first one.... it's so dramatic with the black background, almost looks alive in some way.

Talk about taking quilling to a whole new level!

Many of her dresses are 3-D printed. Or at least the "fabric" is. I have an annotated photo album from the exhibit, here --> http://bit.ly/IrisvanHerpenExhibit

I thought ribbon candy with the first one, just like Mary Jane! Or those sculpted and layered candles from the 70s.

Fabulous dress! It makes me think of luscious icing on a cake.

Just saw this, and WOW! is the right word for it.

It like quilling but in fabric...
