Bella Hadid's dress makes the buzz

The process used to create a dress from a liquid product sprayed on the skin was created by Dr. Manel Torres, a Spanish designer and scientist. He created a system capable of liquefying fibers such as cotton, wool and nylon. Once the product is sprayed on the skin, the solvent contained in the substance evaporates and the fibers of the fabric reform. On contact with the skin, the product dries and hardens to become a textile material that can be worn.

After the product was sprayed on the 25-year-old model's body, a fourth person approached and adjusted the dress with a few snips. Thus, Bella Hadid wore a beautiful white dress with bare shoulders and with a slit near the legs.

This unique and tailor-made dress, created in just a few minutes, caused a sensation at fashion week. It is a real feat and a fusion between the mode and new technologies. Bella Hadid's passage was filmed and the video posted on Instagram by the Coperni brand has already been viewed more than 323,000 times.
