Michael Schmidt has made clothing out of legos, crystal, and razorblades. Now he’s set himself the challenge of creating a 3D printed, powdered plastic dress that moves with the body — the body of Dita Von Teese. On this show, Rose Apodaca talks to the designer about his life and amazing costumes. A “Wilshire Boulevard Story” looks at a landmark in transition: the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Edward Lifson and Michael Govan talk about Peter Zumthor’s plans for an “inkblot” on the landscape.
