Concerned about our Environment? Try Bio-degradable clothing!

I recently read a very interesting article about a new approach in saving our environment. Designer and scientist Suzanne Lee and material scientist Dr. David Hepworth have teamed up to conduct experimental research on a new idea for fashion. This is a new concept for the fashion industry and will definitely be a big hit with our fashionistas who are environmentally friendly!

Experimental research is a method that allows researchers to test their ideas and get real results. In this case Lee and Dr. Hepworth have been using this technique to test materials that will function for this biodegradable clothing line. The purpose of this line is to bring more sustainable and eco-friendly methods of manufacturing clothing. The line is named Bio Couture and is made of all natural resources including vegetable composites and fruits to mention a few. This experiment began in 2006 and has three completed garments up to date. Lee's experiment depends heavily on costs for research and development to create more pieces.Lee has also created Bio Jewellery which is a jewelry line that uses human bone cells. This jewelry line has received lots of attention because of celebs who have donated their bone cells to help make the jewelry. 

This is a very innovative and different idea for the fashion industry but that is exactly what this industry is about. It is constantly looking for unique and interesting ideas that branch out from the norm. I am intrigued to see this line grow and definitely hope it gets the attention it deserves. I think this clothing line is a much needed approach to save the environment in our society. For the fashionistas that are extremely pro-conserving the environment, this can be a new trend that is spread to all other fashion followers. I would be surprised if one day in the future our very own president is giving a speech wearing a biodegradable suit!
