The fashion market is going to be changed forever. Now milk is not only going to be drunk.
QMilch is a new kind of fabric produced by Anke Domaske, a biochemist that works as a designer. This new invent is made of the milk’s wasting that it’s obtain after its purification.
The process it’s pretty simple, the material is turned to a kind of milk powder that it’s exposed to heat and turned to yarn.
Do you think QMilch doesn’t have any benefits? First, its procedure doesn’t use so much water as cotton (20.000 liters of water, versus 2 liters). Secondly, it’s considered a high fashion fabric which is going to have a stable price, that’s an excellent new for designers. This material is considered as comfortable as silk and it doesn’t have any allergy risk for the costumer. And finally, even though the clothes made of this textil are going to be more expensive than cotton, QMilch is already getting attention for celebrities as Mischa Barton because of its environmental benefits.
The fashion line made by Domaske is called Mademoiselle Chi Chi, and is growing up so fast, that their new machines are going to arrive increasing its production to an 80% approximately.
A huge impact made by an ex-scientist 39 year-old woman. Do you like the idea of fashion working together with science? Would you wear milk instead of drinking it?
Can you see the difference?

In my opinion, it is great that sience and fashion can work together. During this semester we have noticed that science can go along with almost everything, so why not with fashion? Moreover, you have mentioned that this fabric is made with the leftovers of milk, and as I understood it doesn´t have a bad impact in people, and this new material could also help to save water.
ReplyDeleteI really like this new because through using the wastes of milk scientists can turn them into clothe; imaging that using this new component the clothe process become cheaper, and also you are helping the prevent environmental pollution; however I wonder to myself, will have the companies the will to change all their production in process in order to use this new element? I doubt it.
