We Are Able | When inventive technologies re-design the future of fashion
‘Mouldy’ t-shirts may sound strange, but a range of fungal fashions from PhD student Ninela Ivanova are certainly creating a buzz. Ninela’s PhD in Design Research looked into using fungi as potential media for fashion and textiles fabrication. “Mould Perceptions was a creativity-led participatory workshop to explore how novel, yet obscure materials, fungi being an example in point, could be introduced to the high-street market,” explained Ninela. Ninela will be exhibiting some of her ‘mouldy’ t-shirts and fungi for textiles experiments in Paris this week at Weareable Fashiontech Festival.
