Model's 3D Printed Bionic Arm Becomes Designer Accessory at NYFW
“We talked a lot with Shaholly about how a lot of the requests that come into us are from families with boys because, with girls, there’s more stigma and less of an inclination towards robotics and science just in how our society is structured right now,” he says. “So, we want to show that the arms are beautiful. We’ve heard a lot about our Iron Man arms, but we wanted to open up our designers to really have some fun with this one and really try to make it exceptionally beautiful. And the next project we’re doing in March – that one too is designed to show both femininity and grace, as well as strength and the robotics, to demonstrate that you can have it all.”

From the looks of the model’s work on the catwalk of Mr. Decurtis’s show for FTL MODA, under her agency Global Disability Inclusion, LLC, Ayers and Limbitless have proven that a bionic arm need not be a device suited only for Iron Man, but that it can be a fashion accessory, as well.
