We’re all familiar with the daily routine of spraying. From deodorant to hairspray, perfume (or is that more of a squirt?) to the handy febreze febreze. If your name is Banksy then there’ s a whole lot more spraying going on in daily life. I have to admit, having a sweeping spray is something satisfying, and this must have been the thinking behind a brand new fabric-technology, spray-on t-shirt phenomenon. It is the clothing in a can that gives maximum muscle fit, they call it Fabrican.

Mesh Around
There’s something spesh about mesh. You have to admit it. Mesh clothing has a definite feel for the cringe. It reminds us that fashion doesn’t necessarily conceal. It demonstrates the essential difference between the terms opaque and transparent. And it often shows us much much more than we’ve ever wanted to see.
In its most frightening form, mesh is synonymous with ‘Hi, look straight through me. See the bare skin. See the bare skin everywhere.’ American Apparel’s male department has a perfect example of this: their Nylon Spandex Micro-Mesh T-shirt. Nice colour, not so nice transparency; but doesn’t it look breathable.
