With the increasingly serious problems such as environmental damage, toxic chemical waste and animal injury faced by the fashion industry, more and more people begin to notice the cruelty and seriousness of this problem. In order to obtain luxury and expensive natural animal fur and wild silk fiber, harming wild animals in nature will lead to the complete imbalance of the earth's environment. Ethical fashion is used to promote ethical fashion design, production, retail and purchasing process. Starting from the source, starting from the fiber, protecting animals, protecting the environment, and promoting sustainable and ethical production are the important things that every fashion insider needs to think and do.

 

Ethical Fashion

 

The world has been searching for a cruelty-free alternative to silk fibers, since many people consider it unethical to extract unbroken silk fibers directly from the cocoons of living larvae. Inspired by spider silk, Bolt Threads uses a DNA sample that mimics spider silk proteins, converts the DNA into yeast, ferments it into silk powder, and dissolves it into a spool to extract the required long silk fibers. The debut of the sustainable material attracts a $230 million investment for Bolt Threads. Bolt Threads has also formed partnerships with fashion brands such as Patagonia, Best Made and Stella McCartney. Compared with traditional silk, spider silk fiber has a soft touch, excellent draping feeling and high tensile strength, as well as good insulation and antibacterial function. And its key processing link is simpler and more eco-friendly.
