The two-toned gold dress and metallic denim jacket, featured at the April 21 Cornell Design League fashion show, contain cotton fabrics coated with nanoparticles that give them functional qualities never before seen in the fashion world. Dipping the positively charged cotton into a negatively charged silver nanoparticle solution resulted in the particles clinging to the cotton fibers.Silver possesses natural antibacterial qualities that are strengthened at the nanoscale, thus giving the dress the ability to deactivate many harmful bacteria and viruses. The silver infusion also reduces the need to wash the garment, since it destroys bacteria, and the small size of the particles prevents soiling and stains.
