The exhibition, which originated at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris in 2023, features over a decade of van Herpen's work, including her first 3D-printed garment from 2010, pieces worn by celebrities like Lady Gaga, Björk, and Beyoncé, and new works such as an algae dress grown from 125 million living organisms. Organized by senior curator Matthew Yokobosky, the show spans eleven themes exploring van Herpen's fusion of traditional craftsmanship with technology, science, and nature.

Speakers included Ivana Živković of the UNDP, Elena Kan of KIVA Center for Agroinnovations, Kazakh biodesigner Dana Molzhigit, and Belgian landscape architect Bas Smets, who discussed afforestation, climate resilience, traditional knowledge, and microclimate design.

Matter and Shape, a design salon held concurrently with Paris Fashion Week, returns for its third edition from March 6–9 at the Jardin des Tuileries.
