Experience how this collection redefines the boundaries between wearability and connection to nature, and let yourself be inspired by the transformative power of fungi in the world of fashion.
Earth’s natural Internet
The idea of fungi acting as “Earth’s natural Internet” particularly fascinated me. These fine mycelial threads that permeate the soil and interact with other organisms convey the impression of a complex communication system coordinating natural processes on Earth. This philosophical approach and the inherent connection to nature were pivotal in my pursuit of this field of research.
Engaging with the fascinating world of fungi and their potential as biomaterials is not only about scientific and technological advances but also signifies a real revolution in the way we think about sustainability and resource utilization. Mycelium technology not only opens up new avenues for the production of environmentally friendly materials but also raises hopes for a more sustainable future in the fashion industry.
The collection is an ode to the silent presence and unrecognized abilities of fungi and an appeal to appreciate the hidden wonders of nature and integrate them into our daily lives.
My collection connects three temporal dimensions: The past, represented by the dynamic and experimental aesthetics of the 1980s – an era when fungal materials in fashion were unimaginable; the present, embodied by current research and applications of mycelium in textiles; and the future, symbolized by the yet unexplored potential of fungal materials and the promising prospects they offer for sustainable fashion.
