Dita von Teese and 3D -printed

This is not the first printed dress. A few weeks ago we showed you the spectacular dresses proposals printed at Paris Fashion Week. Today we present a new proposal: in collaboration with 3D print specialists from New York the designer Michael Schmidt and architect Francis Bitonti have created an articulated 3D -printed gown tailored specifically for burlesque queen, Dita Von Teese. The gown has nearly 3000 unique articulated joints and is adorned with over 12,000 Swarovski crystals.
