Anke Domaske has developed a method of turning sour milk into eco-friendly yarn which can then be made into fabric. Domaske explains, “milk is a wonderful, natural raw material. The special thing about milk is that is has a lovely silky feel. The fabric falls wonderfully, and it�s cheaper than silk.” The best part of her clothes, besides being good for the environment, are that they are actually fashionable. Considering silk is known for damaging the environment with pesticides and its fabric making process, to attain a similar feel with something as bountiful as sour milk is revolutionary. Her pieces start around $290, which is affordable for the eco-luxury market, but for the “I’m on a budget” market the cost feels a little steep. - See more at: http://blog.myfdb.com/2011/07/textile-time-from-sour-milk-to-silk/#sthash.AqqK6yQf.dpuf

Blending minimalism with a touch of whimsy, Swedish designer Naim Josefi has broken new ground on the runway. Drawing comparisons to icons like Alexander McQueen, Josefi has already established himself as a name synonymous with incredible innovation. Back in 2012, Josefi won an opportunity to showcase his collection at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week as a winner on fashion design reality show Project Runway, and has continued to inspire and amaze. Exhibiting an innate ability to stay one step ahead of the careening fashion curve, Josefi isn't afraid of experimenting with new materials and technology. Josefi collaborated with designer Johan Walden for his premiere collection, Wana, a collection of hand-jewelry with sensual and interwoven accents made out lace.
