Iris van Herpen’s new 3D printed Escapism couture collection for .MGX

This is Iris Van Herpen’s second second 3D printed fashion collection after Spring/Summer’s Crystallization. The collection is a collaboration between Iris van Herpen and architect Daniel Wildrig with the label .MGX by Materialise. The hats are designed and made by Stephen Jones. The shoes were made by Rem Koolhaas’ United Nude.  Really interesting and beautiful creations. The idea of printers is always interesting to me, and I simply wonder how far we can push and how successful they will be. Can we have them available for everyone affordably? Where would fashion go then? These are questions that we ask when thinking about any kind of 3D printers, whether for clothes, food or housing.
