Sustainable Innovation: Silk & Silk Alternatives
As an eco-conscious Fashion Design Studio, FIDS is committed to transforming the fashion industry by offering sustainable alternatives to conventional silk production. We understand the environmental, ethical, and social challenges associated with silk, and our expertise lies in providing eco-friendly fashion design solutions.
By proposing:
* Organic silk Sees silkworm food grown in adherence to organic farming, without using harmful chemicals.
* Peace silk Regarded as a cruelty-free option, peace silks allow silkworms to turn into moths. The term refers to the way silk is produced, not the species of silkworm or fabric type. It can be made in adherence to organic standards * Recycled silk Silk production waste and factory scraps can be recovered and recycled into valuable new fibers or reprocessed into natural finishes.
* Plant and food-based silk alternatives These options will appeal to vegans and consumers who prefer animal-free fibers, and they can also feed into the circular economy.
* Lower-priced manmade cellulosic silk alternatives Viscose rayon and lyocell are industry go-tos for scaled silk alternatives to achieve silk-look, drape, and hand feel at a lower cost.
BIOSYNTHETIC SPIDER SILK is on the cusp of commercial reality, with wellness, active, fashion, and outdoor brands partnering to trial it. Silk also comes from spiders – inspiring biosynthetic brewed protein recombinant silk made by microbial fermentation and spun into filaments, in a process that mimics a spider’s spinneret.
