Umm, interesting but EWW!

Cotton is a living plant that we make clothing fibers out of. Flax used to make linen is the same. We wear leather which was originally the skin on a living animal for pete's sake. Even knowing all that, the production of this "fabric" kind of made me gag. 
Suzanne Lee, a senior researcher of fashion and textiles in London, is experimenting with a textile made from bacteria. (Sounds odd but that's not the gagging moment.) For what she calls BioCouture she pours into a tub a green tea solution, mixed with a sugar solution, and adds a yeast and bacteria culture. The bacteria eats the sugars and the bi-product is cellulose mat that rises to the top of the tub. The gross part is what this mat looks like before ring out and shape onto forms, dry, and cut out for sewing. 
I know you are curious so watch a short video here for her and some scientists explaining what they are working on and see the product for yourself.
Her website shows some products they've made and the dying they are doing with fruit and vegetable based dyes.
As research and experimentation, I find it fascinating but something that looks like a human flesh dress? ... "It rubs the lotion on the skin or else it gets the hose again."
