The Future of Fashion - Made from Mushrooms | Dan Widmaier | TED

Ғылым және технология

Your closet is likely full of all kinds of materials -- leather, cotton, nylon and polyester, to name a few -- that contribute to fashion's sustainability crisis. Biomaterials investigator Dan Widmaier explains how we could look to nature for sustainable replacements for these much-used materials and introduces a leather alternative made from mushrooms that looks great and doesn't harm the environment. "We can make fashion sustainable, and we're going to do it with science," Widmaier says.

    this ted talk will go down as one of the most important in a few years. designers will eventually see the importance of such materials and see why this is the road the future of fashion will go towards. it's already happening. the future is already here. thank you for this TED TALK, the world needs to hear this

    Imagine eating cultured meat wearing leather shoes. Now we need to get rid of mattress beds since sleeping bags, futons, hammocks, etc... give you more space when they "fold away". Our entire house can be made of fast folding origami tables / doors.

    @@aoeu256 I'm hoping you're being satirical and if you are what point are you making? One massive change in our fashion/agricultural practices that creates a lasting effect on our environment is nothing to scoff at. Minimizing leather production through use of cows does more good than harm so whats your problem? Are you so obsessed with things remaining the same where every consumer product takes from the environment without giving back or preserving it in any meaningful way? Get a grip, do some research, actually use your brain or... Shut tf up 👍✨

    Thank you for bringing more awareness to sustainable materials. Still to this day, many fashion houses still are not moving away from animal-based and petroleum-based materials due to costs in production and marketing, and this must change. LVMH even has their own production for exotic leathers. Wearing dead animals is not fashionable, it is disgusting exploitation of animals and horrible for the environment. And you are not doing anyone a favor when you purchase faux leather products which are devastating for the environment. Plant-based leather is the only way to go, and I truly hope that consumers will realize it sooner and not later.

    Why would you asume that a TED talk discussing fashion would be 'downtrending' its value? As the speaker mentioned, fashion is just as much a part of us as our desire to create art or music, its simply another avenue where function is now accesible so lets go beyond that and create, explore, make statements and design that which is an intrinsic part of our daily lives. Everything you wear, every clothing item pattern... is fashion. You may not be interested in fashion, thats totally fine but to immedietly dismiss it's very mention shows that you are really uninformed or unaware of how closely it coexists with human history and life.

    Remarkable person reading this.. It’s going to get better; all it is a season of opportunity to grow and be better than before. Challenging times are meant to strengthen us, not to break us. Success doesn’t define to what happened to us; it is how we choose to deal with our circumstances. The more you grow and develop as an incredible person as you are, the more things will change for the better. Forgive more (for you), be grateful for even the smallest things (we have it way better than someone else), choose love over ego, choose humility over ego (humility is strength), and finally, invest into new skills so that your future self will thank you. Our lives will change forever the more we grow. Be thankful for the challenges for we know something greater is coming. Love you always - Nathalie ✨❤️

The unfortunate issue is that other markets are being decimated.If you want to stay green, you have to rely on a lot of diversification. Currently up 14% and being careful.

    Very good--- but Mister Nerd, sir, leather is just a byproduct of dead cows we bred for food. Impossible Burger, Beyond Meat, Boca, and others have created fake meat that tastes good, but is ironically more expensive than real beef, and some or all of these fake meats are arguably not optimum nutrition. The challenge, Mr. Nerd, is to take the next step and make slaughtering animals unnecessary, and also less expensive. It seems like it should be easy since growing cattle means creating bones, hooves, horns and other parts that are useful only to the cow. Thank you for your efforts.

    Cows have hundreds if not thousands of byproduct uses, leather being 1 of them. We don't raise cattle only for the leather.

    This guy just throwing out key phrases/terms. This sounds interesting but renewable energies require non-renewable materials used to make very specific bits of equipment that generally can't be repaired and require massive energy input to make (wind farms and the electronics in it, once these break, they break). Renewable materials, these materials are made from something and converting a material requires energy. The benefit to natural materials it's using natural processes but wanting to scale this into large scale to replace leather....isn't going to be sustainable. Cows provide food as well as clothing. The resources needed to create factories and put energy into making these mushroom farms won't be the saving grace this man thinks, and is leading others to think it is. Save yourself 6 years. Don't eat bugs.
