Maybe one day I can grow my own clothes!

Suzanne Lee is a senior research Fellow at the University of Arts London and fashion designer investigating the usage of bacterial-cellulose to create sustainable products....in particular clothing. Check out this video, I think it is a really exciting (slightly gross haha) project and if all the kinks can be worked out, an interesting consumer product source. Here are some examples of the clothing pieces which she has producted completely organically out of green tea, sugar, and microbes, using tea and vegetable stains for the dyes.

There are still some problems to be worked out with this project, as the bacterial micro-organism live off water...meaning these pieces are not water resistant, or even sweat resistant for that matter. My friend Christina forwarded the link to me (haha Hi Christina!!!!) and I thought it was fabulous blog material. What are your thoughts on this project? Do you think this is Lady Gaga's next outfit?! Let me know your thoughts!
