Videos from Asher Levine and MakerBot’s Fashion Week NY Collaboration

You’ve seen the photos from fashion designer Asher Levine’s Fashion Week NY presentation, now you can watch the video (above, shot by Matt Schaff). It’s almost like you were there!

MakerBot’s latest artist in residence showed off his Fall/Winter 2012 collection, including those awesome sunglasses printed on the MakerBot Replicator, at Jefferson Market Library last Friday. We weren’t lying when we said The Replicators were hired as models for the show!

Levine also created a short promo film for the collection, shot by director and photographer, Bon Duke, which you can view below. Who knew a MakerBot could look so glamorous?

Check back later this week for Asher Levine’s page on Thingiverse where you’ll be able download and print your own designer sunglasses!

blablabLAB: still at it, this time in Brazil!

That’s right: the intrepid world-travelers from Barcelona’s blablabLAB are still playing world traveler, this time in São Paulo, Brazil.  They performed their “Be Your Own Souvenir” installation once more, this time seven days straight for an audience of 7,000 students!

Perhaps even better, they’ve recently posted a scan of Jon “maddog” Hall, legendary Linux programmer and community organizer, to Thingiverse! (Not enough beard detail if you ask me.)

Keep up the good work, guys!  And for everybody else: are you involved in a project that’s as awesome as what they’re doing?  Drop us a line at support@makerbot.com and we’ll help share your story.

thanks to... dammitcoetzee for his penguin Jon for his software and permission ;)
