Spider silk: An innovative material that may revolutionise the world of fashion

Have you ever thought of wearing your little black dress which is made of spider silk? It may be the future.

Now that we have numerous sustainable alternatives to leather and a host of other traditional fabrics, one thing is certain: tomorrow's textiles will be produced, or at least inspired, by nature. This is particularly true of materials that have been developed using biotechnologies, which is the case of spider silk. An ultra-durable and hard-wearing material that could soon play a major role in the world of fashion.
