Watch: LGW x Dazed video portrait: In The Studio with Iris van Herpen & Salvador Breed

Festival news

2019 marks the year that radical fashion designer Iris van Herpen and her partner, sound artist Salvador Breed, have been working together for 10 years. To celebrate their Anniversary, Iris and Salvador curated their very own program at Le Guess Who? 2019. It developed into a lineup of artists and performances symbolizing Iris & Salvador's highly intertwined aesthetics, developed over years of collaborating on numerous creative projects.

In collaboration with Dazed & Confused Magazine, we've created an 'In The Studio' video with Iris and Salvador, about their rich history together, 10 years of trailblazing collaborations, and their curation at the festival. Watch the full video below, and find more videos, portraits, and live recordings via our YouTube channel.

"Iris Van Herpen is one of the most innovative designers around. Consistently blurring the lines between fashion, art, and technology with her wildly experimental, boundary-pushing collections, her imagination seemingly knows no bounds.

Given her propensity for innovation, it stands to reason that Van Herpen, who is based in Amsterdam, would be a fan of those similarly pushing things forward when it comes to music. Not only has she previously created looks for the likes of Lady Gaga, Solange, and Arca, but working in collaboration with partner Salvador Breed, who creates the music for each of her shows, she transports those lucky enough to have scored a ticket to her show to other worlds entirely.

Having first met when Breed, a sound artist and composer, visited her studio, the two connected straight away. When Van Herpen is working on a collection, he visits her studio to see the fabrics, watch the garments come together, and understand the themes and concepts running throughout, before beginning work on a soundscape which builds on the physical offering and extends the story itself." - Dazed & Confused Magazine
