Mycelium Interwoven

Featured Collection

Mycelium Interwoven: The Networked Future of Mushrooms and Fashion" is a collection that subtly integrates mycelium, a living organism, into fashion through biodesign. It connects three temporal dimensions—past, present, and future—that unfold through a play of structure, transformation, and vision.

Mycelia Whisper

Accent Heading

The “Mycelia Whisper” dress is characterized by clear lines and a reference to natural shapes. It features a stand-up collar that harmoniously transitions into a shawl collar. A continuous seam runs from the bust darts to the hem, giving the dress a structured silhouette. A special feature is the circular cape that begins at the back and takes the shape of a mushroom cap, creating a flowing yet structured back view.

Mushroom Muse

Accent Heading

The “Mushroom Muse” dress transforms the concept of a blouse into a dress featuring distinctive shoulder pads in the style of the 80s. The dress has a form-fitting shape with a slit at the back for freedom of movement. The silk used was dyed and cultivated with fungi. A corset is worn over the dress, made from the special material provided by Anne Zhao and Prof. Alexander Bismarck. This material, obtained from mushroom fruiting bodies, brings an innovative texture and materiality to the design that enriches the outfit both visually and conceptually.

Connected Nature

Accent Heading

This ensemble consists of a blouse made of dyed silk, featuring shoulder pads in the characteristic style of the 80s. The blouse is complemented by loosely fitting trousers whose flowing cut reflects the silhouette of the blouse. A multi-layered fabric reminiscent of a wrap skirt and mimicking the shape of a mushroom cap completes the outfit, bringing it into a harmonious balance between simple elegance and modern use of materials.

Fungal Fusion

Accent Heading

The “Fungal Fusion” men’s suit presents a robust jacket with characteristic shoulder pads and curves reminiscent of a mushroom cap. A stand-up collar and sophisticated pleat details that cleverly conceal practical pockets complete the design. The trousers are straight-cut and loosely fitting, with a pleat at the front that adds volume and comfort to the ensemble. The innovation of this outfit lies in its materials: denim artfully overgrown with mycelium, symbolizing the fusion of fashion and nature, paired with a silk top dyed with various fungi.

Innovative Materials

Featured Collection

The materials of this collection reflect the duality of the fungal world: the delicate, organic growth of mycelium embodied in silk, and the robust structure of the fruiting body expressed through denim. It's about taking experimental material research to a larger scale and creating a harmonious balance between delicacy and resilience.

Colors of Nature

Featured Collection

The color palette is inspired by the diverse world of fungi and goes beyond classic earth tones. Dark hues embody the unknown and mysterious, while pastel shades represent growth and positive transformation. Vibrant accents symbolize the open future of the fungal kingdom.
