Designer Diana Kovacheva takes the phrase ''you are what you eat'' to heart. The UK-based designer also believes that we are what we wear. What if what you ate and what you wore was the same?
That was the question that drove her to create Transient Consumables, an edible clothing line with a ''best before'' date. Without a question, this type of design certaintly makes fashion much more interesting.
Diana is one of a handful of designers experimenting with unconventional materials. We've seen dresses made of milk, wine and fruit-scented liquids. It's a trend that keeps evolving and we're curious to see what is next.
Rather than just being faux-meat, Mamu is different. It's a mushroom-based meat alternative that's getting its launch in restaurants so that chefs can test its versatility. Flora Tsapovsky investigates.
