How would you feel wearing a leather coat made of your DNA? Or hold a leather bag that no one else can claim to be his own?
In a not too distant future, all of this may become a reality. This idea was presented by a fashion designer at the conference Biofabricate held at New York and which had as its subject the new developments in organic materials.
Fashion designer Tina Gorjanc, responsible for the project Pure Human, imagines a near future where biotechnology will penetrate the luxury market, and warns about the legislative gaps that protect human genetic information.
Gorjanc presented her first project this year in this field, and mentioned that he could create leather products with synthetic human skin that will "grow" from it DNA του διάσημου σχεδιαστή μόδας Alexander McQueen. Αν και η Gorjanc δεν έχει προχωρήσει ακόμα στο βήμα αυτό αφού οι δημιουργίες της είναι από δέρμα χοίρου ειδικά βαμμένου και κατεργασμένου που να μοιάζουν με ανθρώπινο, έχει ήδη καταθέσει αίτημα για degree ευρεσιτεχνίας στο United Kingdom που αφορά την όλη διαδικασία παραγωγής.
