freedom of creation

So remember last week's post on the 3D digital printed dresses? Freedom of Creation did a line of accessories printed three-dimensionally with a polymer 3D printer that included a collection of shoes.

3D printers use a special polymer to "print" layers of a dimensional object. A computer image of the product is cut into millions of flat layers which are then printed one on top of the other. The result? Above, a seamless, single-piece shoe of utmost modernity.

nouio merges old with new

3D printing can mean one of two things: that a special polymer printer "prints" a three-dimensional product, or a three-dimensional graphic is printed onto a flat surface. The fashion world has seen the former - 3D printing is used with many accessories or special garment pieces. But designer NOUIO took it the other direction, printing the familiar red and blue offset onto fabric.

The concept is perfect with today's trends. The complicated meshing of technology and nature (the designer pulled prints from the natural world) creates an interesting message on clothing. What makes it even cooler is that with 3D glasses, the fabric does just what any other 3D print does - comes to life.
