If you don’t know what a 3D printer is, it will scan an item and make a 3D replica of it. It’s amazing technology. And the fact that Dita was a part of this event is even better.

The fully articulated gown based on the Fibonacci sequence was designed by Michael Schmidt and 3D modeled by architect Francis Bitonti to be 3D printed in Nylon by Shapeways. The gown was assembled from 17 pieces, dyed black, lacquered and adorned with over 13,000 Swarovski crystals to create a sensual flowing form. [Shapeways.com]

You have to see this thing up close. The detail on it is just amazing. You can see pics of the event at the Ace Hotel here.

The Tech Girl’s New Must Have Wallet

November 8, 2012 by Cari Bee ·

While I tend to like to carry my cross body purse or my giant tote that holds EVERYTHING, there are times where all I want to keep with me are my ID, some cash, and my phone. But finding a wristlet that has enough room for my smartphone is not as easy as I wish it could be.

Stella & Dot must have read my mind, becuase they just released their new Chelsea tech wallet, made for tech friendly women on the go.

This purse is designed to hold your smart phone. There’s a special section just for it to keep it from sliding around. How fabulous.
