HYBRID HOLISM DRESS 

The ‘pythagoras tree’ dress presented in the Hybrid Holism Couture Show, is a collaboration between haute couture fashion designer Iris van Herpen and architect Julia Koerner, and 3d printing company Materialise; using a technique referred to as mammoth stereolithography which refers to a 3D printing method. This 3D printed process is built slice by slice from bottom to top, in a vessel of semi-transparent polymer that hardens when struck by a laser beam.
