Spray on Fashion! (Article)

The material was invented by a Spanish designer, Manel Torres and Paul Lukham, a professor of particle technology at Londons Imperial College.That spray contains short fibers and polymers, mixed with a solvent that helps turn the fabric to a liquid form. As it dries, the fibers stick together creating a fabric that can be peeled off easily. The spray on clothing is pretty flexible and can be made with any fabric - cotton, wool, acrylic and even linen and manufactured in any color you want. The density of the clothing can be made thicker by spraying on extra layers, that means that it can be use for any weather you are preparing for.While the designer will be showing his fun fabric at the upcoming Science in Style Fashion Show, it is not ready to hit the typical market yet for some reasons. The first difficulty is the smell of the solvent, which is very strong and remain around the clothing. Also, there is the problem of the snugness of the clothing created, which may not appeal to a lot of people.  


My Opinion
 I think that spray on fashon is really cool because it looks like you are spraying something put the it turnes into fabric:) I think that it is bad that when you make a shirt for example out ouf that spray the smell will stay on the shirt. It is cool because you can actully have tons of clothing without actually bying the cloths.
