Francis Bitonti is tired of talking about the 3D dress he created for Dita Von Teese. That was sooo two years ago, people. And don't pigeonhole him as an artisan. During the 10-day haute couture fashion class that he recently led at SF's Autodesk, Bitonti explained that he thinks of himself as a disruptive manufacturer because he's "making things that will change the way other things are made." The next fields he plans to disrupt? 3D ceramic housewares and jewelry. [SFGate]
