If you spike the food of silk worms with graphene they create conductive silk - how cool could wearable fashion made from that be? firstpost.com/tech/science/s…

Upcycling and deadstock is great, but isn't this article avoiding the issue of the insane amount of collections per year or just continuously adding excessive amounts of new styles as a source of overproduction? voguebusiness.com/sustainabi… #sustainablefashion
