The full range of 3D-designed and produced accessories, including tie pins, bracelets, and belt buckles, will be printed on-demand by Shapeways in polished nickel steel, polished gold steel and matte black steel. Graham designed the collection with Kostika Spaho, one of the leading 3D designers in America. Retail prices of the collection range from $65-$275.

"In conjunction with Shapeways, we are happy to be the first company to create a complete collection of 3D printed men's accessories. 3D printing is one of the most transformational technologies that is significantly advancing the design and fashion industries, and the opportunities are endless," Graham said.

Naming the first collection "New York," Graham defines his styling as 'Post Prep.' "New York" includes graphic-print woven shirts, polo shirts, neckwear, tee shirts, underwear, and 3D-printed jewelry -- all reflecting Graham's well-known sensibility of fun, style and irony. Reflecting his passion for changing the way men dress, the line is distinguished by quality materials, tailoring and style at competitive prices, and a fun, engaging approach to shopping.

"We're very excited to play a large role in the launch of The Nick Graham collection," said Peter Weijmarshausen, CEO and Co-Founder of Shapeways. "This line of customizable men's accessories shows what's possible for the 3D printing industry and it's inspiring to see forward-thinking designers like Nick Graham using Shapeways' technology to bring innovation to the fashion world."
