Qmilk maakt textiel uit niet-drinkbare melk

In haar zoektocht naar kleding die niet chemisch was behandeld en geen allergische reacties kon veroorzaken, begon Anke Domaske in haar eigen keukeneen laboratorium om een nieuwe textiel te maken. Ze wilde daarbij enkel natuurlijke producten gebruiken en kwam uit bij melk. Ze vond dat van et dierlijk eiwit caseïne uit melk biopolymeren konden worden gemaakt. Op zich niet nieuw want reeds in de…

The fashion industry these days, seems to be cleaning itself by creating so various environment friendly alternatives. To change the image of apparel industry as the dirtiest, it looks like the designers have started a crusade. Suzzanne Lee’s Kombucha captured the evils of the textile industry in a video and claimed it to be one of the dirtiest industries in the world. To justify this, she…

Lindsay, a Kotoba team member recently shared an awesome story regarding the first man-made fiber produced entirely WITHOUT chemicals….from MILK! I’m going to be honest… I was never a fan of milk growing up. I’m still not a fan of it…… but wearing it may be a different story! ;)

A Microbiology student turned designer Anke Domaske developed a new fabric, QMilch through the milk protein casein. "The casein is extracted from dried milk powder and then heated up in a type of meat-mincing machine with other natural ingredients. The fiber comes out in strands and is then spun into yarn on a spinning machine." 

The process is incredible in that it has no smell and feels like silk and is machine wash safe! Another bonus to wearing milk is that amino acids contained in the protein are antibacterial, anti-aging, and can help regulate blood circulation and body temperature!

Revolução bacana no setor de moda é um tecido feito de leite, mais precisamente da proteína caseína, presente no leite. Quem desenvolveu a ideia foi a designer de moda e bióloga alemã, Anke Domaske. E o melhor: o tecido, chamado QMilch, é eco-friendly, pois é fabricado com leite que não cumpre as normas de higiene e iria para o lixo. 

We see milk fabric as an alternative to cotton. The special thing about it is that we can manufacture it without using pesticides or chemicals and the earned tecniques now to produce that's very environmently friendly and saves resources. Anke Domaske

A sustainable textile made 100 % from milk has been  developed by Anke Domaske (of the Fashion brand Mademoiselle Chi Chi).  The brand is apparently popular with Mischa Barton and other celebrities.. 

Being Milk  Intolerant myself   I am not too enthusiastic about this material.  But maybe it would not irritate the skin. But another  issue would be finding  Vegans willing to wear such a fabric ? ( let's face it, most Vegans give up all that food for ethical reasons).

Clothing Made of Milk

Anke Domaske, a biologist and fashion designer came up with a very interesting fabric using milk.  The fabric is easy to take care of and looks very silky and beautiful.
