It is time for mushrooms, from beauty to packaging, and also in the field of fashion in search of green solutions: from the fungi an alternative skin is obtained, all vegetable, with which bags, shoes and even upholstery for sofas are already in production.

The new biomaterial derived from mushrooms was patented with the name 'Mylo' and was invested by Adidas, Stella McCartney, Lululemon and Kering (the group with the brands Gucci, Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta, Balenciaga, Alexander McQueen, among others) .

Now the first fruits.


    Stella McCartney will be the first high fashion house to launch garments made with Mylo in collaboration with Bolt Threads: a vegan alternative to leather, sustainable and not of animal origin, obtained from the mycelium contained in the roots of mushrooms, a resource infinitely renewable.

The two garments, born from the encounter between scientific research and high fashion design, show the potential of this new generation material and lay the foundations for the future.

"I believe that the Stella community should never be forced to sacrifice sustainability for luxury and Mylo offers us a solution in this sense. The garments made with this material, rare, exclusive, reflect the commitment shared with Bolt Threads for a 'cruelty-free fashion industry that considers the production of beautiful and luxurious materials as opposed to the death of similar creatures and the damage to the planet we live on, "said Stella McCartney.


    And luxury brand Hermès announced, later this year, a new version of its Victoria bag made with Sylvania, a mushroom-based vegan leather developed by startup MycoWorks.

The collaboration, which has been running for three years, will lead to the first commercially available product using Sylvania, or Fine Mycelium, a skin created from fast-growing fungal root systems.


    "Sylvania represents how nature and biotechnology can work together to create material with the highest quality standards," said MycoWorks CEO Matt Scullin.
