While Google’s ATAP team arrived at Fashion Week with some Project Soli-enhanced visualizations, the show stopper for us is this dress that appeared out of thin air on model Bella Hadid.
The Cut explains that the magic at work is something called Fabrican. which is “a liquid fiber, bound together with polymers, bio polymers and greener solvents, that evaporates when the spray reaches a surface, in this case, Hadid’s body.”
Last week ended with Elon Musk’s robot carefully shuffling across a stage, and this week is kicking off with Kim Kardashian’s settlement with the SEC.
