There were so many creative aspects in the looks people were wearing. Lady Gala had 3 on carpet changes, Zendaya's Cinderella dress lit up, and Jared Leto was carrying his head. This years theme of "camp" lent itself well to creativity within the form of fashion. One of my favorite pieces was Zac Posen's 3D printed dress worn by Nina Dorbev. To create this look, Posen worked with GE to take Nina's measurements and print the dress to fit her exactly. There was definitely out of the box thinking on this dress with the use of the 3D printer and I love it. 3D printing technology has been doing amazing things in the science realm that are truly mind boggling. People have been printing prosthetic limbs for vets, replacement heart valves, and working firearms. My sister literally works on printing parts of rockets to send people and satellites to space. It is insane what 3D printers can do. I would not have though to use this technology to create something to delicate and that's what makes it so creative in my opinion. This designer took an existing medium and introduced it into a new realm to create something fresh. Its rad.
Wooow I saw pictures of the dress but didn't know the story. This is nuts
ReplyDelete3D printing possesses a whole new power that creatives can tap into. It also presents a danger, as it allows anyone to produce whatever they may with blueprints and a machine. It makes the whole much more interesting, and yet, all the more complicated.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait till we start 3D printing artificial organs!
ReplyDeleteAgain, this is a great example of taking something conventional (like a dress) and turning it into something amazing and unconventional (a 3D printed dress). This is thinking out of the box and pushing the bounds of what is possible. I bet at first it may have sounded pretty far out there ("Hey guys what if we 3D print a dress for the met gala?") but here it is in full bloom and it's awesome! Moral is don't be afraid of ideas.
This is some serious wakanda like stuff. 3D printing bring sa whole new dynamic to the creative world. It's a catalyst of imaginative thought. I wonder if I could just 3d print myself some pants and purchasing the design rather than the material of Amazon one day. Now that's the future. Super cool post.
