Top 4 3D Printed Looks at NYFW 2016
Erin Winick
Another New York Fashion Week has come and gone, and with it came a new round of awesome 3D printed fashion. Check out our picks of the top NYFW 2016 3D printed fashion looks.
4. Alexis Walsh-Lysis Collection
Alexis Walsh’s Lysis collection was featured at the Oxford Fashion Studio Autumn/Winter 2016 New York Fashion Week runway show and featured an awesome mix of materials combined with 3D printing. The strength in her designs comes from the interesting silhouettes she is able to create with her bold geometric pieces. Our favorite piece from the collection featured a strong red neckline that paired excellently with the rest of the black top.
3. Ohne Titel
Label Ohne Titel introduced the world to a very interesting style of 3D printing design in their piece that combined techniques like 3D printing and weaving. This dress drew inspiration from the texture and colors of moth wings. This dress was a collaboration with 3D printing company Shapeways to create all the parts needed for this extraordinary flowing look. We are huge fans of Shapeways as well since we partner with them to 3D print all of our metal products!
2. Threeasfour-Harmonograph Dress
Of course we are a fan of this dress by threeASFOUR because it actually drew inspiration from science! This dress appeared as part of the fashion house’s biomimicry collection. They took to using 3D printing to create this dress when they were unable to create the desired pattern in another way. The dress is named the Harmonograph dress and mimics the Fibonacci sequence in its 3 spiral pattern.
1. Threeasfour-Pangolin
Our top 3D printed look displayed at New York Fashion Week 2016 is the Pangolin dress also by threeASFOUR. This design is created to mimic animal textures. The lines of this dress are absolutely amazing and create a chic look that we would love to wear. This dress was made in a collaboration with Stratsys to show off the potential of their new multicolor 3D printing machine. We cannot wait to see what these amazing collaborations between tech and fashion will come up with next!
