Anouk Wipprecht, who was featured in our Hi-Fructose: New Contemporary Fashion book, recently unveiled her “Fragrance” and “Elixir” dresses, in collaboration with Cirque du Soleil.

The transparent capsules holding the bottles fall into the model’s hand, and are then placed on a built-in conveyor belt at the model’s chest (based on a stepper motor), filled with the respective ingredients and handed to the participant. The fragrance design stores ingredients divided in head, body and base notes that allows for the possibility of several different mixes.”
