Supermodel Bella Hadid walked the runway in a dress made entirely of airbrushes! Just the thought of it is mind-blowing, but seeing it happen is a whole other experience.
During the Coperni SS23 Paris Fashion Week show, Hadid took center stage in nothing but a thong to close out the fashion event. The model was surrounded by designers dressed in all black and using airbrushes with the intention of creating clothes on the model right there on the runway.
The beautiful and science-infused display has caused many fans and fashion lovers to question the process and how the simple yet elegant dress came to be. The moment has also been described as a tribute to legendary designer Alexander McQueen, who also created a fashion moment a few years ago somewhat similar to this.

Bella Hadid Wears a Dress That Sprays into Being

For the highlight of Coperni’s SS23 Paris Fashion Week, Hadid took to the stage wearing pants. The model placed her hands gently over her chest as she walked gracefully to the center of the stage/runway to spray the clothes right over her body.
follow Women’s Daily WearHadid was joined on stage by the inventor of the spray fabric himself, Dr Manuel Torres, along with designers Arnaud Vaillant and Sébastien Meyer, who then proceeded to create the clothes on the models’ bodies there on stage.
At the beginning of the procedure, it looks like normal paint is sprayed onto the model’s body. As the process continues, the paint transforms into a unique fabric, and the dress begins to slowly materialize in the most beautiful way. One of the most amazing moments is when the liquid creates a web-like formation between her legs as the bottom of the dress emerges.

After the scientists and designers finished spraying the dress on Hadid, a woman from the design team stepped forward to further style the dress by tucking it under the shoulders to create a beautiful off-the-shoulder look. The woman then took a pair of scissors to further style the dress by cutting a thigh-high slit, elevating what was initially just a simple white dress that had been sprayed into existence.
The whole process of spraying and then styling the clothes, coupled with Hadid’s patience, grace and poise, is nothing short of amazing.

With the entire dress shaped and styled on her body, Hadid continued to rock the runway in it, proving the fabric is also quite durable. The model gave the stunned guests, including stars like Kylie Jenner, a full view of the dress in the most stunning way.
As reported by Ella magazine, guests have already been given a hint that there will be something big to look forward to at Coperni’s Spring Spring show for Paris Fashion Week. With such a great final, it’s pretty clear that their expectations were greatly exceeded.
The Science Behind Bella Hadid’s Spray-On Dress
follow WWD, spray fabric is the brainchild of designer and scientist Dr Manuel Torres, who studied fashion design at London’s Royal College of Art. Dr. Torres developed a technology that dries instantly after contact with any surface. This process leads to hardening and eventually forming a layer of non-woven fabric.
Coperni shared in a statement (via WWD) that “It can be used to make innovative clothes that can be washed, reused and even integrated with diagnostic devices that can monitor the health of the wearer. The technology consists of short fibers bound together with polymers and bio-polymers, and a greener solvent that delivers the fabric in liquid form, then evaporates when the spray reaches the surface.
They also state that fabric texture can be altered “according to the fibers (synthetic and natural, such as cotton, linen, polyester or nylon and recycled) and binders used, and how the spray is used.”
Fans Compare It To Alexander McQueen’s 1999 Spring Summer Show
After Hadid’s show-stopping Coperni show went viral, fans were quick to compare it to another somewhat similar moment in fashion history: Alexander McQueen’s SS99 show.
McQueen created an iconic moment in fashion by placing supermodel Shalom Harlow on a rotating turntable right between two spray-painted industrial robot arms. The model, clad in a white dress, put on a bit of a show as she acted horrified as she saw the robotic arm point menacingly at her and spray her white dress with black and neon green paint. Like Hadid, Harlow also closed the McQueen show with her stunning and iconic performance.
Although the two moments may seem similar at first glance, they are completely different. The McQueen show involved a white dress worn by Harlow being sprayed by two robotic arms. Coperni, on the other hand, sprayed the white dress onto Hadid’s body using nothing but an airbrush with a special liquid that hardens and creates fabric upon contact.
