Iris Van Herpen is a conceptual Dutch fashion designer that uses 3D printing to create her collections. Her work is absolutely astonishing to me - I find her creative ability fascinating. The creations shown below are examples from her Spring/Summer 2012 haute couture collection shown in Paris on January 23rd 2012.
The 3D printed outfits are first of all created by a pulsed laser that layers powdered rubbers or metals into a shape calculated by computers. This manufacturing technique was originally developed for engineers, and also has a history with footwear and jewellery.
I find Iris Van Herpen most inspiring due to her individuality as a fashion designer, and her dare for a unique style. Her creations are like something i've never seen worn on a human figure before. The detail that consists within, is simply astonishing - especially the allow for comfort and practicality. The female dutch designer, is a true inspiration to me.

Issey Miyake is a Japanese fashion designer well known for his technically driven clothing designs. He has been experimenting with technology in fashion since 1997.
This is an image of Miyake's latest experiment using custom software to create complex, digital patterns. Within this, he created three dimensional garments that were not cut - nor sewn; instead they are folded with permanent pleats to fit the garment to the body.
This creative idea is fascinating, and the though processes within his work is without a doubt incredible. How ever personally, I cannot grow to his designs to suit my personal taste. I feel that this collection is too dark and alien like for me.
