Check out our 3D printed fashion items at the Fashion Space Gallery in London!

3D printing is entering the fashion world more and more. Take a look at the exposition ‘Layer by Layer‘ in the Fashion Space Gallery in London to see for yourself.

Who hasn’t seen the beautiful 3D printed dresses designed by Iris van Herpen? For a few years now 3D printing is pushing (fashion) designers to think out of the box and search their own way in this digitalized world.

The exposition ‘Layer by layer’ wants to give a glimpse of this ‘renewed’ fashion world. Discover 3d printed eyewear, jewellery and shoes by both national and international designers. Take a closer look at some Materialise and i.materialise prints: the Melonia shoe, designed by fashion designer Naim Josefi and industrial designer Souzan Yusouf will be showcased in three different colors: black, pink and green.

The Biomimicry Shoe, designed by Marieka Ratsma in collaboration with Kostika Spaho, is a must see: this shoe, with intricate detals and elaborated surfaces could not have been fabricated in any other way.

Layer by Layer is the first of a two-part series exploring digital print in fashion. This exposition focuses on 3D printing and its potential as a tool for design. By outlining some of the processes, stages of development and materials involved in the printing of objects, this­ exhibition will demonstrate some of the most innovative uses of 3D printing in contemporary practice.
