Michael Schmidt and Francis Bitonti debuted the world’s first fully-articulated 3D-printed gown on the legendary Dita Von Teese at Ace Hotel New York last night with Shapeways, as part of our (Nemo-delayed) NYC Fashion Week celebration of burgeoning intersections between technology and fashion. Lots of friends were in attendance to celebrate this super stunning dress and the super stunning woman who presented it to the world. Debbie Harry and legendary rock photographer Bob Gruen joined model Andrej Pejic, the Chris Habana team and designers Anna Sheffield and Natalia Krasnodebska. We were honored to bear witness to this premiere with some very inspiring people — stay tuned for an interview with Dita forthcoming soon.
