Future of Fashion – 3D Printing

Time to rethink design.

No more flat 2D patterns here!

A wonderful innovative company that we are in love with is Shapeways.

The concept of Shapeways is incredibly simple.

How does this process apply to fashion in ways other than jewelry and objects, you ask?

For a long time now, we have wanted to feature designer

Iris van Herpen

3D fashion design is her specialty.

One of her fully 3D printed collections was Escapism. She collaborated with London architect Daniel Widrig and digital manufacturers .MGX by Materialise to create a collection of digitally printed clothing.

No Sewing or Seams here.

Another collection by Iris:
