3D Printing, hits Paris catwalks.

Iris Van  Herpen has adopted 3D printing to create somewhat impossible clothing, collaborating with 3D printing artist Carlos Van Canp. The intricate details of the garments in her forth collection were designed and produced in a 3D simulated design programme. Her inspiration for the innovative structure of the garments came from a shared passion with architect Philip Beesely's fascination with materials and the different reaction they have with various environments and the structures produced that occurs in various chemical and electrical reactions. 
These pieces that would be unachievable using fabric and not have the durability and stability of 3D printing whilst having the comfortable movement in structure fabic garments too. Is this a new step into domestic clothing to hit the highstreet?
