Dear Shaded Viewers,

To say that Iris Van Herpen's first Couture show in Paris went well is a bit of an understatement. She pushed herself again this time, working hard to give us real emotion, as well as her unique signature. I got emotional watching her show and felt transported to a different world. Her women looked like beautiful insects or seductive creatures hailing from an unknown planet. Her clothes are pure poetry.

As the finale came, people started clapping and you could sense the excitement in the room. I was on a complete fashion high.
