A new material could be sprayed directly onto your body and have you ready to go out in minutes.
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 any other fabric.
This would be great on the catwalk but besides that the technology could have a range of other uses. They could create spray-on-bandages for example.
"It's a sterilised material coming from an aerosol can, and you can add drugs to it to help a wound heal faster," says Torres.

On September 20th, a fashion show at will feature the first couture collection created with the spray-on material. I think this invention is innovative and will have a great impact on the fashion industry.
