Designers are releasing biomimicry-inspired textiles for use in fashion production

Trend - Previously, designers were eager to explore the concept of biomimicry in their “fashion as art collections,” which were exclusively reserved for viewing only. Nowadays, more brands are making biomimicry-inspired clothing available for purchase.

Insight - Tensions about climate change and its consequences are building up for contemporary consumers and as a result, individuals are looking for ways to mitigate the threat by opting-in for more eco-friendly options on the market. In this space, many are turning to technology and design for alternatives and by embracing more cutting-edge concepts in their daily purchases, individuals have the ability to enjoy peace of mind and take comfort in the fact that they are living a more sustainable lifestyle.

Workshop Question - How might you employ concept of biomimicry in your products/service?
Trend Themes
1. Biomimicry-inspired Clothing - As tensions about climate change grow, more designers are finding ways to use biomimicry in clothing production, leading to opportunities for sustainable and eco-friendly clothing lines.
2. Seawater Plant-derived Sustainable Fabrics - Innovative new sustainable fabrics using salt-tolerant plants grown in seawater are being developed as an eco-friendly alternative to the current fashion industry practices.
3. Nature-inspired Biodegradable Fibers - Sustainable fashion designers are increasingly using biodegradable fibers inspired by nature and created using biotechnology to meet consumer demands and mitigate the fashion industry's environmental impact.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - The fashion industry is being disrupted by sustainable and eco-friendly clothing options that incorporate biomimicry, edible plants, and biodegradable fibers.
2. Healthcare - Nature-inspired healthcare solutions are being created using biomimicry to improve treatment outcomes and reduce instances of recurrent issues and long-term immobility.
3. Textile Manufacturing - Innovative textile manufacturing using cutting-edge technologies, such as biotechnology and seawater plant-derived materials, are encouraging more sustainable practices in the fashion industry.
