German designer uses sour milk to create fashionable clothes
German fashion designer Anke Domaske uses sour milk, she calls Qmilch, to create a silky fabric for her Madmoiselle Chi Chi collection.
"Milk is underrated because people only view it as a foodstuff but you can make a lot more from it," Domaske told DW-TV. "Milk is a wonderful raw material. The special thing about milk fiber is that it has a lovely silky feel. The fabric falls wonderfully and it's cheaper than normal silk, but it's also made from protein so you can wash it."
Domaske is also a microbiologist which explains why her brand is environmentally smart and conservative.
"See milk fiber is an alternative to cotton. We can manufacture it without pesticides and it only takes an hour to produce," she said.
