BioCouture

"BioCouture" is a project by Suzanne Lee, a senior research Fellow in Fashion and Textiles at Central Saint Martin, that introduces a "mother culture" into a green tea and sugar solution.


The byproduct of this fermentation is a bacterial cellulose mat, usually discarded as waste when fermenting drinks.

Once harvested it is draped onto a wooden mannequin, or cut to produce garments.



Lee's work is on view as part of the "Trash Fashion: Designing Out Waste" exhibition at the Science Museum in London.
