If this is the future of fashion, it’s pretty wild: models wore 3-D printed garments on Wednesday night at the 2014 3D Printshow in New York City. The event featured an entire gallery of art crafted by 3-D printer tech, along with a catwalk showcasing designers’ 3-D printer creations. The show included everything from a skimpy bikini to enormous headdresses–all in the name of fashion and science. Check out some of the most memorable looks from the night.

This group opened the fashion show with a performance featuring dancing, somersaults, and cartwheels.
