I saw this article and thought Dita should play Rachel in the next Blade Runner movie, she looks so much like her!!! [Center]Dita Von Teese Debuts 3D-Printed Dress[/Center] [Center][IMG]http://i47.tinypic.com/24xorhk.jpg[/IMG][/Center] Style icon Dita Von Teese debuted a 3D-printed dress at the Ace Hotel on Monday, born out of a collaboration between designer Michael Schmidt and architect Francis Bitonti. Schmidt, well-known for designing Lady Gaga's famous bubble dress, worked with Bitonti, a Brooklyn-based architect who renders designs with new technologies in unusual material — this time to make a 3D-printed dress from hardened powdered nylon that still allows for movement on the body. [i]"We were an interesting team because I take things that are virtual and I figure out what to make them of"[/i] Bitonti said. The dress was created virtually. Schmidt designed the entire dress on his iPad and communicated with Bitonti through Skype during the process of imagining 17 unique pieces and 3,000 joints that let the dress move with the body, working with 3D-printing design studio Shapeways, to print each piece before it was lacquered black and adorned with 13,000 black Swarovski crystals. It is composed of 3,000 unique moving individual hollow parts allowing the piece to be extremely lightweight for it's size at 11.5 pounds The dress will go on tour and be displayed first at Swarovski and then in museums.

Its up, go take a look and post! [url=http://www.bladerunner2-movie.com/community/forums/topic/129]Who would you choose to portray Rachel in the new Blade Runner movie?[/url] Also, Katy Perry’s has admitted her biggest style influence comes from Dita Von Teese so yes the look is similar. She even did a Vanity Fair cover tribute to Dita posing the exact same way Dita did.

[center][/center]That is absolutely a BR-like dress. Ridley definitely has one super-opportunity, to take advantage of all that latest technologies have to offer. Another 3D fabrication that was interesting (from 2011): This dress reflects Iris' fantasies about what the world would be like; if we could see all the radiation (yes, tell me about it), & signals around us... [center] [img]http://bunnycord.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/tumblr_lrirycr5do1r1j9d3o1_500.jpg [/img] Iris van Herpen's 3D-printed [url=http://www.3ders.org/articles/20120330-iris-van-herpens-3d-printed-dresses-in-groningen-museum.html]plastic skeleton dress[/url] [/center] Also, Dita does have quite the resemblance to Sean. And strangely, in a few photos I've seen on Google ...she almost looks a bit like Cybill Shepherd, too (from a distance, or I'm nutty, LOL). I haven't heard of Dita until now, so will look for some live-clips of her, next. She does look fantastic in that 3D dress though. :) Somewhat unrelated, but I was just recently admiring Li Yingzhi's [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9a6X1imBspw]diamond-studded dress[/url], coincidentally. The clip is from where skimpily-clad car models caused an uproar, among the Chinese. Also, claiming the 2012 Beijing International Automotive Exhibition, had become more of a [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SsF7Xo0-yk]“breast show” than a car exhibition[/url], LOL. Authorities in Beijing weighed-in, & issued a "serious reprimand" to those involved. And on-top of that, Li was [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9U3qGIYHIM]felt-up on a talk-show[/url], in order to prove; whether or not, her breasts were completely real. :O A bit of funny n' odd controversy, & all from the land where PlayStation® is still, illegal. Thanks Svanya. ^_^ S:)

[center][/center]That is certainly a dress (The Blush Response) for the sequel, LOL. I wouldn't be surprised if Ridley :O did happen to see your post (or someone in his direct-employ) ...the "breast show" would make the film. Thanks Svanya. ^_^ S:)
