Prevailing Trend According to Tendence 2012 - Customizable Design

According to the organizers of the Tendence fair in Frankfurt - the most important consumer-goods fair and trend barometer for the second half of the year, running August 24-28,  a prevailing  trend at this year's event will be customization as designers create high-quality accessories that can be tailored to personal style.
I have written about the customization trend many times since 2007 when it first seemed to appear and I am not surprised to learn that - it is quite natural in the times when we have the technological possibilities to supply the customers with the chance to personalize everything they use.
One of the best examples of customization is 3D Printing - it allows to modify designs according to your customers requirements. Here below are a few customizable accessories from the Shapeways gallery:
