I also wondered why the model and the person who applies the spray-on dress on her do not wear some kind of protective mask (like varnishers do for their varnishing work) while the spraying work is being done.



Reading up on the stuff that's actually coming out of the can, it doesn't look like there are particles that are small enough to actually aerosolize into the air. They tout wool and mohair as candidate things that can be sprayed.

I have my doubts whether breathing the small fibrous particles that are contained in the spray won't have some unhealthy consequences.


Because this is art, not a serious garment proposal, and having the model wear a mask would spoil the art.


Maybe it’s not toxic, Occam.


Maybe it is and they didn't wear masks because it would take away from the optics.

Ah yes, those sweet non-toxic bonding agents
