Crystallization by Iris van Herpen, Daniel Widrig
and .MGX by Materialise

Fashion designer Iris van Herpen collaborated with New York company .MGX by Materialise and artist Daniel Widrig to create 3D printed clothes.

Created as part of her Spring/Summer 2010 collection called Crystallization, the designs were inspired by the transformation of liquid into crystals.

The piece was unveiled as a preview at Amsterdam International Fashion Week last month and is the first of three pieces to be shown at London Fashion Week in September.
