Dress out of 6 liters of milk with no expiry date



When I've heard about milk fabric for the first time I was laughing and didn’t believe it can be  possible…
I started research and realized that it is really happening. I wanted to have it , try it, test it … immediately.
It was a challenge as it is still innovation and some companies produce only fiber but I finally managed to get one from China (yes, it is possible to get 5m instead of 3000 minimum order… sometimesJ) . It is a blend of milk fabric, cotton and modal, has a specific smell and it very soft and nice in touch. Now the plan is to make pleated pants inspired by japanease one called hakama. Will keep you updated.

Few worlds about milk:
Milk protein fiber is made of skimmed milk. Main component of this fiber are casein proteins, drawn from the milk. It is manufactured by spinning protein fluid by means of bio-engineering technique. It holds dye, is breathable and it captures the moisture to make skin tender and smooth like after taking a milk bath. It is also antibacterial, anti-aging and can help regulate both blood circulation and body temperature. Up to now this fiber was only produced in Japan and in 1930 in Germany but a lot of chemicals were used during the process.
Qmilk –a  german company has find a natural method  to produce it uses a waste product from the dairy industry.
