This project focuses on bio-fabrication and regenerative design and how it can be used for formal wear. 

A lot of the time occasional garments are only worn once or a couple of times, afterwards left in the back of the closet, not serving their intended purpose. Even more so, formal wear for events, such as the Met Gala, can rarely be re-used because of how unusual and avant-garde they are.

My aim is to create garments with high artistic value that would be worn at formal events and then could be left to biodegrade and help replenish the soil.


Parts of the garments would be made using the Modern Synthesis Microbial Weaving Biofabrication process. The material that is produced with this technology is nanocellulose. It is a building block for most plant-based materials. It is inherently low-cost, biodegradable and adaptable to many different applications.

Another part of the garments would be bioplastic materials with seeds or natural soil fertilisers trapped in them. This way, when the garment has served its’ initial purpose and is left to biodegrade, the seeds or fertilisers in the material can settle down into the soil, replenishing it.




I also created a couple of garments from this project in CLO3D. This way the production does not require any physical resources and is sustainable.
