Could kinetic clothing be the next big thing? A collaboration between Dutch fashion designer Iris van Herpen and Italy‐based architect and educator Niccolò Casas has produced a series of dresses that blur the boundaries between the body and the space around it. Casas explains how they have fused handcraft with technology, using 3D printing, mass customisation techniques, and morpho‐dynamic simulations, among other means, to produce couture pieces that react to bodily movement in extraordinary new ways.
