Some years ago, Fabrican created an instant, sprayable, non-woven fabric and was developed further through a collaboration between Imperial College London and the Royal College of Art, London (UK). When spraying the liquid onto your body, the liquid transforms into fabric. Each spray can sends thousands of cotton fibers splattering against your skin. The fibers then bend together and form a garment that peels away when you undress (so washing your clothes is no longer needed). Since the fibres are delivered in a diffused form, other elements, like perfumes, pigments or treatments, can be easily added.

For his project Intimacy, Dutch artists Daan Roosegaarde created a dress made of flexible e-foils which can be either opaque or transparent depending on the currents flowing through them. Intimacy was developed by Studio Roosegaarde, V2_Lab and fashion designer Maartje Dijkstra

The Intimacy dress takes our notion personal space to a next level: the closer someone approaches, the more transparent the dress becomes. As such, the garment becomes a sort of second skin that allows the body to become an ‘interface’.
