3D Printed Jewellery Spotlight: Kimberly Ovitz

Kimberly Ovitz, the daughter of Hollywood’s very own Michael Ovitz, presented her first – and 3D printed – Fall 2013 collection at New York Fashion week last month. The collection was created in close collaboration with 3D printing marketplace Shapeways.

The collection is quite unique and as Kimberly herself refered to it, the pieces create a fluid and organic line that mould to the wearer’s body like armour. The collection is presented below.

The Kimberly Ovitz collection was also rated high by Shapeways designer Duann Scott: ”I think it is HOT!!! I was lucky enough to be in the factory when it was being printed to see all the women who run the machines getting really excited. It is inspiring to see a designer such as Kimberly be so quick to innovate and realize her aesthetic with 3D printing technology.”
