A new wave of nanotechnology allows clothes to resist spills and wrinkles, and wear longer between washings. As part of an NPR series on fashion, Leda Hartman takes a look at latest trends in textile technology.
Here comes the new trends in textile, its the same technology that has been used in other fields, its name: Nanotechnology, it has invade the fashion industry, that makes the clothes more resistant to spills and wrinkles and preserve color between washings.
