3D printing has
been making the headlines for a while now. And now, it is opening up a whole
new world for the fashion industry.
The global fashion
scene first saw 3D printed clothes paraded on the catwalk at Paris Fashion Week
in 2013. The acclaimed collection was created by designer Iris Van Herpen using
3D printers. In the same year, Victoria’s Secret also jumped on the bandwagon
with its first pair of 3D-printed wings during its world-renowned annual show.
Volumental, a
Swedish footwear company, recently created a revolutionary service where
customers are able to scan their feet and get shoes with the exact measurements
perfect fit.
What does this
mean for the future of the fashion industry? Let’s keep our eyes open for the
next leap of innovation.
