When Iris van Herpen meets Perrier-Jouet. The 'Invisible Beauty' is world‑premiered at Tokyo Gendai.
Summary
Dutch haute couture designer Iris van Herpen, known for merging fashion with natural structures, has partnered with the French champagne house Perrier‑Jouet to create three limited‑edition art bottles. The collaboration, inspired by a shared reverence for nature, was announced ahead of the Tokyo Gendai exhibition (September 11‑13, Pacifico Yokohama), where the bottles will be unveiled for the first time worldwide. Perrier‑Jouet’s eighth‑generation chief winemaker Séverine Frélion joined van Herpen on a tour of the vineyards, and the designs draw on the house’s historic motifs such as the 1902 Emile Gallé anemone and the brand’s ongoing dialogue with contemporary artists. This project continues van Herpen’s exploration of organic forms and earned her the 2025 Perrier‑Jouet Design for Nature Award, underscoring the synergy between fashion, art, and sustainability.
