A student at the [London College of Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Este-Lauder-Companies-Announced), Hoon Chung has created a collection of [3D-printed heels, wedges and flats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/climamog), all of which are undeniably stylish. Featuring color-blocked designs and curvy silhouettes, the range is unlike most other 3D-printed shoes we've seen so far that, although interesting, don't offer effortless, everyday wearability. Chung's creations, on the other hand, range from cute lace-up wedges to [platform clogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asics-novalis-styrax-breeze) and are stylish and cool enough for the gal who loves the merge between fashion and tech. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.6/10 - Popularity: 97% | Activity: 92% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **3d-printed Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore new designs and styles using 3D printing technology in the fashion industry. - **Color-blocked Designs:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate color-blocking techniques in fashion design to create visually striking and unique products. - **Fashion-tech Fusion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Combine fashion and technology to create stylish and functional products that appeal to tech-savvy consumers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate 3D printing technology into traditional fashion manufacturing processes to create innovative and customizable products. - **Footwear:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Implement 3D printing technology in the footwear industry to create comfortable, stylish, and customized shoes. - **Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Utilize 3D printing technology in the design industry to push the boundaries of creativity and create unique, intricately detailed products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [3d-Printed Collab Flip Flops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dprinted-flipflops.md) - [Open 3D Printing Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zellerfeld-1.md) - [3D Printed Shoe Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/customfit-3d-printed-shoes.md) - [Ergonomic 3D-Printed Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dprinted-flip-flops.md) - [3D-Printed Winter Sport Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bobsled-footwear.md) - [3D-Printed Lattice Futuristic Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/climamog.md) - [Futuristic 3D-Printed Clogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asics-novalis-styrax-breeze.md) - [Custom 3D-Printed Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sean-wotherspoon-x-zellerfeld.md) - [Scan-to-Print Custom Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vivobiome.md)
