Dutch designer Iris van Herpen debuted two 3D-printed outfits made in collaboration with US-based designer Neri Oxman and Austrian architect Julia Koerner during her runway show at Paris Fashion Week.

Stratasys used multi-material 3D technology to incorporate both hard and soft materials within the skirt and cape. "The ability to vary softness and elasticity inspired us to design a 'second skin' for the body acting as armour-in-motion," said Oxman. "In this way we were able to design not only the garment’s form but also its motion."

A black dress was designed with Julia Koerner and printed by Belgium-based firm Materialise. The intricate texture of the dress was created through selective laser sintering, a process that uses a laser to fuse small particles together. "The architectural structure aims to superimpose multiple layers of thin woven lines, which animate the body in an organic way," said Koerner.
