Finally,
3D-printed clothes are wearable
The beginning of a new age of fashion Meet the first-ever collection of wearable 3D-printed clothes created on large-format 3D-printers by Julia Daviy
ABOUT
My name is Julia Daviy and I am a creator and a designer of 3D printed clothing. I believe that the 3D printing of clothing represents more than a new innovation in fashion. 3D printing technologies will create an entirely new age for the fashion industry. The third age of fashion will once again liberate the creativity of women. My fascination with 3D printing began in early 2016. At that time I was increasingly concerned with the ethical and environmental impact of fashion on our world. Issues of chemical pollution, energy consumption, material waste and the exploitation of animals are a huge problem for the fashion industry. In 3D printing, I saw a solution to these problems.
Collection
The Liberation Collection
The classic looks gots in innovative ways. The Parametric Coral Pleated Dress, The Polka Dot Exoskeleton Dress, The Parametric Skin Suit… 9 looks of 3D-printed clothes will be presented at FashionHub: Fashion Meets Technology in the framework of New York Fashion Week.
3D-Printed Outfits
I have spent the last two and a half years in continuous study, research and experimentation with different 3D printing software, hardware, materials and approaches of implications of 3D printing in the product design cycle. Here are some of my designs that had been launched until I started to work on my Liberation Collection.

How do I make 3D-printed clothes?
1. I create a 3D-printable design of a piece of clothing with a help of CAD-type software 2. I 3D-print the file according to the methodology created by me using our industrial-type large-scale 3D-printers 3. I do post-processing and final assembling. Despite we, in Julia Daviy Design Lab, improved the technology of 3D printing of flexible clothes, and minimized the handwork, creating of each piece of clothing still takes a lot of time. I am sure, we will decrease the time of 3d printing soon. But even now 3D-printed clothes worth its existence – it gives an absolutely new experience of cruelty-free, slavery-free, and sustainable fashion experience. IT GIVES BELIEF THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO SOLVE ALL THE PROBLEMS CREATED BY THE 2ND (STILL CURRENT) AGE OF THE CLOTHING INDUSTRY.
