I really think that the 3D printing and 3d modeling is going to usher in a completely new era of fashion and costume design. Draping lends itself extremely well to natural, flowy shapes and fabrics. You can work with silks and chiffons and achieve beautiful silhouettes that fit perfectly to the human body. However, with new development in online patternmaking, you don’t have to strive for the perfect fit anymore. Instead, you can easily create rigid, angular shapes that would be impossible to achieve on a mannequin. We’ve already seen how effectively 3D printing can be used in the world of haute couture: Iris Van Herpen has quickly made a name for herself as one of the top designers in the world by 3D printing her runways for fashion week. In the world of theatre, Miodrag Guberinic is a designer who mainly works with 3D printing and online platforms to create costumes for Broadway, world tours, drag queens, and even films like Wicked. Jiashi Ying’s 3d printed collection is a great example of where the industry is heading and I can’t wait to see what comes next.
