Normally wine stains rarely appear on dress even to a worst alcoholic. But now the wine itself is made into a dress. True this fact is stranger than fiction argue my colleagues whenIspoke about this latest invention. I hope atleast my you readers believ in my story. As per a report in the `Daily Mail', Scientists have induced a bacteria into the red wine. The reaction yields a material similar to cotton. This has been designed into designer skin fit out fits like T-shirts and swim wear.
To date they have made dresses, T-shirts and swimwear and are now looking at ways to improve the fabric tear strength, the daily said.Lead researcher Gary Cass, collaborated with contemporary artist Donna Franklin to deisgn the womenswear range and believes fermented fashion could one day become mainstream.
Researchers at The University of Western Australia have just discovered a way to make the beverage into clothing. By combining art and science knowledge and with a little inventiveness, the ultimate goal will be to produce a bacterial fermented seamless garment that forms without a single stitch.
Scientist Gary Cass was inspired to create cellulose garments when he noticed a skin-like rubbery layer covering a vat of wine that was contaminated with Acetobacter bacteria (don't worry-it's non-hazardous and non-pathogenic). (With inputs from internet-AarKay)
