I absolutely cannot get enough of the gorgeous architecture of this dress. It is so incredibly stunning. For her exquisite collection, Iris van Herpen was influenced by the crow - a mysterious, intelligent, dark animal.  Her golden dress comes from the old alchemists' idea that it is possible to turn lead into gold - thus, she has turned crows into gold. Under the golden rods, there is another dress made of black leather, and like the flap of a bird's wing, the golden neck of the dress comes detached and forms folded wings on the body to reveal the black dress beneath. The brass spokes on this dress were gathered from children's umbrellas and give the appearance of a finely-boned bird's skeleton. It's as if Herpen is creating a golden crow from the inside out, and in revealing the concealed, she creates something magical and golden for out of air - an alchemist's tale. The collection is called Chemical Crows.
