In this case, science redefines the use of silk. A material that goes back to ancient China.
Isn't it great to see beyond its common use in fashion? And that is, making silk fabrics.
Consider the alternative uses. The discoveries of this science research are amazing. Medicine, industrial design etc. And it is eco-friendly.
But let's focus in fashion. The idea of making led tattoos out of silk or how silk fibres can be combined with other materials and produce holograms through a beam of light are very interesting. A material with great potential. I am sure future fashion industry would love to work with it. Don't you?
