Spray-On Clothing
I’ll try spraying a Speedo first thing.
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.
In addition to creating instant fashion, the technology could have a range of other uses – spray-on bandages, for instance. “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.
The Forever Lazy
Is the Snuggie too dignified or cumbersome for you? Then hop into a Forever Lazy one-piece fleece bodysuit, and really call it quits.
Hurry…get yours today!
Twenty-somethings David Hibler and Tyler Galganski birthed Forever Lazy, a cross between a Snuggie and pajamas that you can wear all the time. That is, if you’re under house arrest – or if you’re confident (or crazy) enough to endure gratuitous staring and endless snickering from normally dressed people while out and about.
Touted as the “one piece, lie around, lounge around, full-body lazy wear,” the giant piece of cloth resembles an oversized bathrobe. Maybe it could fit into the category of onesie pajamas for grownups. Or is it just a giant monkey suit? Whatever the categorization, the Forever Lazy guarantees that you can indeed be forever lazy – and forever comfortable.
Additional evidence that you never have to remove the thing: the Forever Lazy has zippered hatches on both the front and the back, super convenient for “great escapes when duty calls,” according to the official website.
If you need further convincing, Hibler told the Associated Press that each pocket can hold three 12-oz beverages of your choice.
