...Though I hope the fashions will have changed by then, as these
current examples look like plastic chainmail. Some designers are
already using 3D printers to create textiles apparently, with the
possibility of creating tailor-made figure-hugging being an attractive
reason.

Fashion site Ecouterre has an article on the 3D printed clothes
phenomenom, and the museum of Modern Art is exhibiting the Dutch
designer Freedom of Creation's works already. It's not just the lure of
having clothes that fit properly that's appealing for designers—3D
printing also helps cut down on labor costs and could be seen as
reducing waste. [Ecouterre via BoingBoing via FabSugar]
