Famous Israeli designer and couturier Danit Peleg offers trendy jackets that are almost entirely 3D printed.
Danit attracted public attention a couple of years ago, while studying at the College of Textile Technology, Fashion and Design. Shenkar. As her thesis, the girl presented a whole collection of fashionable clothes made exclusively using additive technologies. Before that, the student had no experience with 3D printers.
“I wanted to create a ready-to-wear collection, printed at home using publicly available 3D printers. I spent a whole year looking for the optimal solution, working with leading experts in this field. This year has become the most interesting in my life. When I was just starting out, I was not sure that I would succeed, but thanks to the help of wonderful people, I was able to fulfill my dream - to print my own collection of fashionable clothes. Just imagine the possibilities: if you're cold, print a jacket. Traveling light? Print your clothes right in your hotel room. Perhaps, soon we will be able to design and print outfits right at home, ”said Danit.
Danit created her first outfits using the equipment available to every amateur - personal desktop Witbox 3D printers manufactured by the Spanish company BQ. Flexible printers have allowed them to experiment with a variety of consumables, from the environmentally friendly but too tough and brittle polylactide (PLA) to the more promising elastomers. The very first outfit was a rather primitive by today's standards "Liberte" jacket (pictured above), inspired by Eugene Delacroix's painting "Liberty Leading People."
Since then, outfits have become more complex and attractive. The star of the opening ceremony of the Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro was the American snowboarder Amy Perdy, who danced live with an unusual partner - the industrial robot arm Kuka. The inspiring performance is noteworthy for two more reasons: firstly, Amy lost both legs in her youth, and therefore danced on prostheses, and secondly, the brave athlete was dressed in a 3D printed dress authored by, you guessed it, Danit Peleg ...
