This book explores water’s poetic and transformative power in art and fashion, highlighting themes of rebirth, migration, and climate through multisensory works by leading designers and artists, such as Versace, Iris Van Herpen, Bill Viola, and Dries Van Noten.
High Tide dives into the profound role of water, the sea, and the ocean in the creative imagination of fashion designers and contemporary artists, portraying water as a dynamic, generative force and poetic reality. Through multisensory installations and works by both established and emerging talents, it explores themes of fertility, rebirth, threat, migration, and feminist perspectives. From mythological figures like Venus and Narcissus to contemporary reflections on climate, migration, and emotional depths, the exhibition reveals how water mirrors our destiny while connecting art and fashion. Icons such as Versace, Iris Van Herpen, Bill Viola, and Dries Van Noten bring this oceanic vision vividly to life.
