Today's blog seems familiar but I don't think I made a previous post about it...at least I hope not! Biocouture was founded in 2003 by Suzanne Lee and has been exploring the use of living cultures to grow biomaterials to be made into apparel. The end product will also (after several years) be biodegradable. There are a couple of ways this is being done,some things are grown on a mold of the finished product or large sheets of material are grown then cut into pieces to be made the way things are currently made using patterns. Instead of using petrochemicals or land needed for growing food, clothing can be grown with zero waste. This is still about 10 years in the future,but it sounds like a viable plan to me.
