BioCouture
BioCouture is a research project using nature to suggest an innovative future fashion vision. Suzanne Lee uses microbial cellulose (composed of millions of tiny bacteria grown in bathtubs of sweet green tea) to produce clothing. The idea is to grow a dress in a vat of liquid.
BioCouture has been included in Time Magazine's annual roundup of The Top 50 Best Inventions of 2010.
