The advancement of technology has created many wonders, with some things that seemed possible only in science fiction films now becoming a reality.
A nude supermodel gets a dress sprayed onto her right on the catwalk.
On September 30, at the Paris Fashion Week in France, model Bella Hadid delivered an impressive performance with a custom-made outfit created on-site using a liquid.
Specifically, Bella Hadid stepped onto the catwalk with her bare chest, wearing only a pair of underwear. Then, the team from the Coperni brand sprayed a type of liquid onto her body, forming a minimalist white dress in just a few minutes.
So, what is this newly invented liquid and how does it work?
This is the Fabrican technology developed by Manel Torres, a Spanish professor of Particle Technology at Imperial College London, in 2003, aimed at creating unique clothing.
Fabrican is a technology that produces fabric from a polymer solvent containing fabric fibers. When exposed to air, the liquid evaporates, leaving behind fibers that bond together to form a complete layer of fabric. According to Fashionista, many audience members described this moment as historic.
In the future, Fabrican technology is expected to become a commercial product, allowing users to create outfits according to their preferences. (Photo: BFMTV).
The spraying technology of Fabrican allows manufacturers to easily alter the physical properties of the product, including shape, size, texture, color, and even scent, to suit the characteristics of each wearer without the need for reworking or storing different materials. Fabrican utilizes various types of fibers, from natural to synthetic, including keratin fibers like wool and mohair, cotton, nylon, cellulose, and carbon nanotubes.
According to the BBC, this fabric is attracting designers, the industry, and the public worldwide. The product is seen as a pioneering innovation in material science, developing smart fabrics that integrate nanotechnology and conductive textiles.
Spray fabric has the potential to free designers from the constraints of size and stitching associated with traditional materials. The flexibility of spray fabric technology forecasts a new era in the development of environmentally friendly fashion materials.
Experts suggest that color powder or fragrances can be added to the liquid to enhance the aesthetics and colors of the clothing.
Additionally, the spray has other useful applications such as medical bandages, sanitary wipes, and upholstery fabric, as it is completely sterile and can have certain medications added to aid in wound healing.
It is evident that the creation of clothing without traditional weaving is now possible. We hope that this future fabric created using spray technology will soon penetrate the market and become a commercially successful product.
