3D Printed Clothing Designer Debuts First Ever 3D Printed Collection for Women
Taking over 300 hours to create, highlights within "The Liberation Collection" include:
- The Polka Dot Exoskeleton Dress: Inspired by exoskeletons of sea urchins, Daviy created a ready-to-3d-wear classic dress with 3-dimensional polka dots, which are pretty similar to the round barbed in the closer look.
- The Parametric Coral Pleated Dress: Inspired by sea reefs and especially by Fungia Coral, Daviy created a dress, which despite its parametric structure and being 3d printed looks like a real wearable dress for cocktail parties or special occasions.
- The Parametric Skin Suit: Daviy used the 3-dimensional pattern similar to a snakeskin and parametric lines of different height, inspired by the shapes of Fungia Coral and sea animal species skin patterns.
- The Pure Nature Suit: The suit is super flexible. It's lining made from premium eco-friendly fabric produced from recycled fishing nets.
- The Lace Mini Skirt: The world's first 3D-printed lace skirt. Inspired by the shapes of coral reef and a skirt from one of the most popular looks of Carrie Bradshaw.
- The Fragility Dress: Made from a peace (Ahimsa) silk organza fabric and was decorated by 3-dimensional pattern similar to spines of sea urchins.
- The Parametric Black Ocean Dress: 3D-printed manually, 3-dimensional and made from mixed filaments — flexible tpu and flexible biodegradable PLA. The elements of bra zone as the shoal of jellyfishes, and the shape of the dress is similar to a sea star body architecture.
- The Black 3D-printed Bodysuit / Swimming Suit: Made with a lining made from premium eco-friendly swimming spandex fabric (made from recycled fishing nets).
- The Pink Coral Neon Skirt: The 3-dimensional patterns are inspired by coral reef fishes are grey and have different heights. So the skirt slightly changes the body architecture.
The 3D printing process has the potential to be less energy intensive and wasteful than existing clothing manufacture techniques. About one-third of all the fabric we make is thrown away. Also, every year millions of animals are killed for their skins. The suffering inflicted by industrial farming techniques for the production of leather is impossible to avoid. Daviy's first mission with 3D printing has been to create a replacement for leather. Her current collection includes one of the most popular items of leather clothing — a biker jacket — made from a 3D printed material that is not just as good as, but in many characteristics, far exceeds animal sourced leather.
