 Body-nourishing clothes
Following a collection made from Algae plants, that has reached
the finalists of the 2018 H&M Global Innovation Awards, the skin-
feeding clothes business shows there’s massive potential.

One example is a German design studio, Blond & Bieber who’s

using microalgae as a sustainable fabric dye.

The collection was made from Algae-based biodegradable fibers

and eco-friendly dyes and was prised for its capability of releasing
nutrients, such as vitamins and minerals, onto the wearer’s body.

thousands of miles.
The concept of garments with
‘modular shape and adaptive
functionality’ has begun to
gain traction.
It is an approach that fits the
current eco-fashion narrative
driven by
sustainable clothing labels
seeking to minimize
manufacturing waste.
