Real spray-on clothes to hit the catwalk!
"Forget weaving and stitching clothes. A new material could be sprayed directly onto your body and have you ready to go out in minutes.

Particle engineer Paul Luckham and fashion designer Manel Torres from Imperial College London combined cotton fibres, polymers and a solvent to form a liquid that becomes a fabric when sprayed. The material can be built up in layers to create a garment of your desired thickness and can also be washed and worn again like conventional fabrics."

I gotta say, there are some people I do not want to see in spray on clothes!

5. Sexy. It is cotton and plastic in a solvent, so it doesn't look like latex or anything.

6. Gee...you know...seems like just putting on an ordinary shirt would be a lot easier.
...and about 10 minutes faster. :)
