3D-Printed Gown | Michael Schmidt + Francis Bitonti
In a hurry? No time to go shopping before that important soirée tonight? No worries, just go ahead and print a dress out!
Far from being that simple, this one of kind digitally modeled and 3d printed dress may be the dress to which future designers point back and say: that’s where it all started.
Designed and completed by Michael Schmidt and Francis Bitonti this Swarovski adorned gown was designed especially for Dita Von Teese who modeled the 17 individually printed pieces with 3,000 articulated joints at the unveiling Ace Hotel New York.

Anastasia Andreieva is an accomplished Architectural Projects Editor at Arch2O, bringing a unique blend of linguistic expertise and design enthusiasm to the team. Born and raised in Ukraine, she holds a Master’s degree in Languages from Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. Her deep passion for architecture and visual storytelling led her to transition from translation and editorial roles into the world of design media. With a keen eye for conceptual clarity and narrative structure, Anastasia curates and presents global architectural projects with precision and flair. She is particularly drawn to parametric and digital design, cultural context, and emerging voices in architecture. When I’m not analyzing the latest architectural trends, you’ll probably find me searching for hidden gems in cityscapes or appreciating the beauty of well-crafted spaces. After all, great design—like great connections—can be found in the most unexpected places. Speaking of connections, because architecture isn’t the only thing that brings people together.
