Voltage is the title of Iris van Herpen‘s latest couture collection. 2 outfits are actually 3D printed flexible outfits. The first one is a cape and skirt, which is a collaboration with Neri Oxman from MIT’s Media Lab. The second one is a black dress, a collaboration with the architect Julia Koerner.

Natural Beauty is a new short film by Lernert & Sander. They applied 365 layers of makeup in one day on Hannelore Knuts to see how much is needed to go from a natural look to an outrageous one. The whole process took 9 nine hours, during which Hannelore couldn’t move and only eat and drink through a straw. The result is … well just watch the film below.
