3-D Printed Clothes: 3-D printing isn't just for shoes and accessories. Now, the high-tech DIY is coming to apparel-land. "Each garment starts as a 3-D model, created in the traditional fashion," reports Wired. The Kinematics software then breaks the model down into triangular planes, flattens the now polygonal 3-D model into a glorified 2-D sheet, and adds hinges that allow the printed piece to be folded back into its original form like a giant piece of plastic origami. It then compresses the garment, reducing its volume by 85 percent, and sends it to the 3-D printer for fabrication." Check out the video, above. [Wired]

Here's how much it costs to look like Kim Kardashian: While on a world tour with boyfriend Kanye and their new baby, North, Kim Kardashian isstill employing the same fleet of makeup artists, wardrobe stylists, and hairstylists as she was at home in Los Angeles—and Kanye West is, allegedly, picking up the tab. "Kim only trusts her team to make her look gorgeous and doesn’t want to work with outsiders," one source says. "This doesn’t come cheap, and Kanye will shell out $250,000 just while he is on tour for Kim’s glam squad. The truth is that Kanye spends a lot more than Kim does on clothes, accessories, and cars. They are a perfect match for each other." So there you have it, kids. [Belfast Telegraph]
