A Spanish designer based in London creates a fabric that is applied in spray

Manel Torres, a English fashion designer based in London for over a decade, has created a fabric spray that is applied and, according to its creator, "will revolutionize the concept of clothing."

When Torres was 14 years ago to London to do a masters in fashion, began to feel the "need" to create a new tissue to allow him to "communicate something different" with their designs.

then began the first research laboratory to develop a fabric that could be applied in spray, with the special addition to his employer can mold the material at will.

The usage is very simple: just apply the spray on exposed skin, so that the fibers are joined together and forming a fabric with the desired pattern whose thickness depends on the amount of product used.

As can be seen in video demonstration of the web spray, the fabric can be adjusted to the body or can be separated from the skin so that the resulting garment is more loose.

fabric fibers, which can be recycled and used clothes and remain suspended in the spray or aerosol, are perfectly fused, so that the fabric is so consistent that it can even be washed.

sprays can contain natural fiber fabrics such as wool, cotton or silk, or synthetic, like nylon, and the colors also vary, as well as applications that can be given to this innovation.

Manel Torres spray applied on a model for a design. Gene Kiegel.

"The spray can be used to make crafts, in cars for interior decoration, as a cleaning agent to make cloths sterile bandage or even a doctor, not to mention applications in the world of fashion to make graffiti fabric, change textures or design clothes even complete, "said Torres.

According to its creator, one of the advantages of this system is to allow the creation of "smart fabrics" with active particles include perfumes or medicines, in the case of medical bandages.

"It is also cheaper," said Torres, who is "anxious" to see how the industry receives the product and what applications are giving him in everyday life.

On Monday introduced the product with a parade at Imperial College London, who, he said, "will open another path, another way of creating textiles and clothing."

"In the future, there will be shirts, the concept will change, and people can dress up a front created at the time. Everything depends on the acceptance," he said Torres, who is particularly "excited" about the potential medical applications of the product.

For Torres, improve endurance is one of the unfinished of this invention, which has managed to move directly from the laboratory to the catwalk.
