Discover British Bio Couture

I already told you about the Kent Wifes who went green and bio. But fashionable London did too. Suzanne Lee, a researcher at Saint Martins College of Art in London developed a material made by the bacteria that are usually used to turn green tea in to the fermented kombucha tea (yes, I had to look that up as well, it's a medicinal tea). As they digest sugar, the bacteria produce a mat of cellulose, which Lee figured out how to harvest and dry. This is what she made of it.
