Rather than a dress that's fit for a cocktail party, fashion designer Anouk Wipprecht's Drinkbot is a dress that [mixes and pours cocktail shooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robotic-beverage-machine) for its wearer and her companions. For the most part, the Drinkbot dress looks like a regular cocktail dress, with a form-fitting black leather design. However, the front and the back of the dress contain a [3D-printed system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hotel-chocolat-velvetiser) that both stores and mixes various types of cocktails. Wipprecht has made the dress available as a DIY project, so anyone with garment design knowledge, a bit of coding skill and a 3D printer can make one for themselves. As a designer, Anouk Wipprecht is accustomed to thinking outside the box and creating completely unique pieces. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.3/10 - Popularity: 85% | Activity: 95% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Bizarre](https://www.trendhunter.com/bizarre) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Cocktail Mixing Dresses:** The trend of creating cocktail dresses that have built-in systems for mixing and pouring cocktails. - **DIY Cocktail Dresses:** The trend of offering cocktail dress designs as DIY projects for people to create on their own. - **3d-printed Fashion:** The trend of using 3D printing technology in fashion design, such as incorporating 3D-printed systems into dresses. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can explore opportunities to create innovative cocktail dress designs with integrated cocktail mixing systems. - **Technology:** The technology industry can capitalize on the trend of incorporating 3D printing and coding skills into fashion designs. - **Hospitality:** The hospitality industry can embrace the trend of cocktail mixing dresses to enhance the experience of cocktail parties or events. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Rechargeable Cocktail Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cordless-cocktail-maker.md) - [App-Enabled Cocktail Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bartifier-cocktail-maker.md) - [At-Home Bartending Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-and-decker-bev.md) - [AI Cocktail Assistants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thirsty-bot.md) - [Automated Mixologist Cocktail Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocktail-maker.md) - [Cordless Cocktail Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bev-by-black-decker.md) - [NFT Cocktail Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-skull-society.md) - [Commercial AI Mixologists](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brandmuscle-tastebuds.md) - [Cocktail-Resembling Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocktail-chair.md)
