A bra that's just right for you? Heeled shoes or flat shoes, and what do you think about 2in1?
Bras for large breasts, small breasts, medium breasts, with or without support, embellishments... Shoes with and without heels. Two great new things have come from the collaboration of fashion and 3D printing and will make everyday life easier for ladies. Lidevi van Twillert is an industrial designer and engineer from the Delphi University of Technology in the Netherlands. In an easy and comfortable way, she reduced one of the indispensable parts of every lady's wardrobe to a personal level - the bra. Lidevi uses 3D printing to print special items that fit according to the curve of the chest. This gives not only a unique appeal but also practicality on the move. Her brand Mesh Lingerie produces bras based on body scans.
The popular metal support structures have been replaced by beautiful meshes, printed with 3D technology, which provide constant support to the breasts. "Women inspire me to create the perfect underwear through art and science." says the designer.

Laura Papp from Budapest shows wide interests in sculpture, graphic design, photography, jewelry and fashion. And all of them intertwine in a delicate and beautiful way in experiments with new technologies. Laura has invented a variant of electric shoes that can quickly lower the heel. Her idea "Heel2" is based on four concepts for shoes with an easy transition from high heels to low heels. The goal of her project is to make it easier for women who love the elegance of high heels, and at the same time, for example, like to ride a bike or go for long walks.
For her work on "Heel2", she focused on 3D printing triangular shapes. These forms, combined, provide the necessary stability and flexibility. Each shoe position is closed with a magnet. Laura Papp offers several variants of her invention, each powered in a different way. In the "X" model, for example, the sides rotate against the axis and the heel components fold into each other. Model "Z" is an example of a trapezoidal shape, while models "A" and "M" have triangular wings that give stability to the heel.
We are waiting to see how these two ventures will be accepted by the fashion industry.
