# 3D-Printed Interactive Dresses These High-Tech Fashion Outfits are Inspired by the Audi 'A4' By David Ingram | Published 2015-08-27 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hightech-fashion References: [psfk](http://www.psfk.com/2015/08/audi-a4-audi-city-berlin-3d-printed-dresses.html) & [anoukwipprecht.nl](http://www.anoukwipprecht.nl/) Dutch designer Anouk Wipprecht created four pieces of high-tech fashion inspired by luxury vehicle technology that feature fully interactive elements. Wipprecht, who labels herself as a 'fashion-tech' designer, combines artistic high fashion with elements of science, engineering and technological innovation. Her latest project combines several elements of the high-end [Audi](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-car-couture) 'A4,' including 60 watt high-powered LED headlights, flashing ultrasonic parking sensors and finally the angular design of Audi's virtual cockpit technology. Each high-tech fashion dress was also specially designed using 3D printing software. Every model's body was individually scanned beforehand to help ensure that each dress would fit their specific dimensions and measurements perfectly. The dresses were then printed out in plastic and their functional elements were then added to create truly one-of-a-kind outfits. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 65% | Activity: 50% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Fashion-tech:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the intersection of fashion and technology to create high-tech, interactive clothing. - **3D Printing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Utilize 3D printing technology to customize and create unique fashion pieces. - **High-end Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate luxury vehicle technology into high-end fashion designs. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate technological advancements into the fashion industry to enhance functionality and aesthetics. - **Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Apply technological innovations in the fashion industry to create interactive and personalized products. - **Automotive:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with fashion designers to integrate automotive technology into high-fashion garments. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Haute Auto Pattern Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-car-couture.md) - [Dynamic Shape-Shifting Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/primrose-dress.md) - [Reimagined Digital Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deep-23.md) - [AI-Inspired Fantastical Bridal Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fantastical-bridal-collection.md) - [Artistic Dress NFTs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unwearable-dresses.md) - [Dynamic Silhouette Car Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercedes-dresscode-concept.md) - [AI-Driven Shoppable Catwalks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-driven-shoppable-catwalk.md) - [Digitally Customizable Bridesmaid Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/couture-technologies.md) - [AI Virtual Fitting Rooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-virtual-fitting-room.md)
