The English milliner's sculptural accessories achieve traditional design elements with the use of modern technologies. The designer's Fall/Winter 2014 collection aims to "propel handcrafted forms and classic design into the future and to re-define the concept of luxury in the current context of standardization." The Gabriela Ligenza capsule collection was created in collaboration with Francesco de Comite, a mathematical art expert from Lille's [University of Science and Technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydrogen-based-energy-systems), Joaquin Baldwin and animator and Adam Mellotte of [Inner Leaf](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-saddle), a 3D modelling expert.

Tessimond's inspirational poem "Day Dream". ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.1/10 - Popularity: 94% | Activity: 80% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Multimedia](https://www.trendhunter.com/multimedia) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Sculptural 3D Printed Accessories:** More artists and designers will experiment on using 3D printing technology to create unique and intricate accessories for fashion or other industries. - **Combining Traditional and Modern Design Elements:** Businesses will combine traditional design elements with modern technologies to produce innovative products with a touch of classic elegance. - **Collaborative Artistic Endeavors:** More collaborative artistic endeavors will arise across different industries, where artists and scientists join forces to create something new and unique. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion Industry:** Designers in the fashion industry can use 3D printing technology to create unique and memorable accessories for their collections - **Art Industry:** The combination of artistic talent and technological innovation can produce awe-inspiring pieces in the art industry. - **Luxury Industry:** The use of modern technologies to produce traditionally crafted luxury products can redefine the concept of luxury and create new opportunities in the luxury industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wearable Sculptural Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dtcable-collection.md) - [Grass Root-Made Sculptural Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rootfull.md) - [Biomorphic Travel Capsule](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/living-systems.md) - [Collaborative Headwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiko-kostadinov-and-new-era.md) - [3D-Printed Modern Sculptural Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contour-collection.md) - [Limited 3D-Printed Ceramic Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dyadic-series.md) - [Craft-Inspired 3D-Printing Styles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digitally-woven.md) - [Collaborative Accessories Capsule](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mr-bailey-2.md) - [Nature-Inspired 3D-Printed Handbags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/julia-koerner.md)
