Kimberly Ovitz

Experimental designers like Kimberly Ovitz and Iris Van Herpen have embraced 3D-printing -- and now mainstream retailers are testing their consumer appeal.

It has the potential to do great things for the industry: create shorter lead times for designers, offer the ability to produce things in smaller quantities, and create easy personalization. On the flip side, 3-D printing could render many jobs in the manufacturing industry obsolete, as well as present some tricky legal issues surrounding copyright.

Backstage before the show, designer Kimberly Ovitz warned us this collection would be "a lot darker" than past seasons, and indeed it was: The collection was almost entirely all-black, with a few grey, olive and brown looks thrown in for good measure. Ovitz told us she was inspired by the figure of "the warrior," and that the collection was all about embodying the warrior's attributes: "Perseverance, vitality, vigor," she said. It's hard to say whether or not the clothing conveyed such intangible attributes, but we will say that the belts and necklaces made out of what looked like human hair did seem to send the message: "Don't fuck with me or I'll scalp you."
