Iris van Herpen is a Holland based designer who designed the Refinery Smoke dress and water piece for the poster and the show of Joey Yung's Number 6 concert. It was said that the water piece costs about Three hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars and there was originally two pieces for Joey. However, one of them were broken during transportation.
Refinery Smoke Collection
Joey has worn one of the dress from this collection during the shoot of the poster of the Number 6 concert. She stated that the dress is heavy and hard, but the effect is beautiful.
“ | Iris van Herpen這襲裙像雲一樣,但其實重得很,因為用了鐵網做原料,而且實物很硬,令我難以移動。不過當看到照片的時候,覺得再辛苦也值得。 | ” |
—Joey Yung, quoted in EastTouch |
Interview

Crystalization Collection
Joey has worn the water piece from this collection during the Number 6 concert while singing "Sing More and Stronger", meaning the "cold water" splashed by haters would cause her became stronger.
Joey's production team has done a interview with Iris van Herpen about the water piece after Joey's concert. The full interview was included in the live products of the concert.
English interview
Could You tell us the concept behind this water piece? Jan Benthem and Mets Crouwel, from Benthem Crouwel Architects, asked me to design a dress inspired by the new city museum, which they called 'the bathtub'. As a reaction to their bathtub, I designed a dress that embraces the body like a warm bath. This became the vision and the beginning of this water piece for Joey. What fascinates me most about water is the transformation from liquid to solid chaos structure. The fact that a totally transparent and fluid material hides a secret structured pattern of lines which, so it seems, only comes to life when frozen, thus when crystals are formed. Only then will the symmetry and structure become visible. In one form it's water, soft and fluid as a warm bath, and as ice it's hard and mathematically structured into crystals. What inspired you to create the crystallization collection? How did you capture the water splashing and turn it into the water piece? What was your biggest challenge in making it? Joey looked radiant, brillant on stage wearing your water piece. People were positively overwhelmed by the water piece when Joey stepped onto the stage. How did you feel when you saw it on her? What kind of image do you want to project to the audience? What is particularly impressive about the water piece is its strong silhouette, yet it is physically very brittle. Was the contrast intentional or experimental? (Is it true that you originally made two pieces, one that Joey wore at her concert, and another that broke?) So it took you almost a month to make the water piece. From concept to production, which part did you spend most time on? At the moment, what kind of materials do you have in mind that you want to try most? |
