The Brooklyn Museum held its annual Artist’s Ball on the second Monday in May, celebrating Dutch designer Iris van Herpen. Guests explored fashion as an art form while previewing her upcoming New York retrospective.
On a fashion-focused evening in Brooklyn, attendees sipped cocktails named after van Herpen’s designs, including the Architectonics and Sculpted Spice. Many wore her sculptural pieces, such as a battery-powered headpiece and a tentacle-adorned mini dress worn by Coco Rocha, who noted that art grabs attention in the same way her outfit did that night.
