The Future of Fashion - Made from Mushrooms | Dan Widmaier | TED

[@pW2002]

this ted talk will go down as one of the most important in a few years. designers will eventually see the importance of such materials and see why this is the road the future of fashion will go towards. it's already happening. the future is already here. thank you for this TED TALK, the world needs to hear this

[@aoeu256]

Imagine eating cultured meat wearing leather shoes. Now we need to get rid of mattress beds since sleeping bags, futons, hammocks, etc... give you more space when they "fold away". Our entire house can be made of fast folding origami tables / doors.

[@pixiemagic36]

@@aoeu256 I'm hoping you're being satirical and if you are what point are you making? One massive change in our fashion/agricultural practices that creates a lasting effect on our environment is nothing to scoff at. Minimizing leather production through use of cows does more good than harm so whats your problem? Are you so obsessed with things remaining the same where every consumer product takes from the environment without giving back or preserving it in any meaningful way? Get a grip, do some research, actually use your brain or... Shut tf up 👍✨

I swear I’m intrigued. I guess I’ve to change my idea about fashion now: not just to look amazing but to make nature too look amazing for us all to live in Thanks ones more 🙏

[@natashakayla1364]

thankyou for bringing & reminding us more awareness to sustainble materials. because in this era, so many people still don't care about our earth

[@Maria-EU]

Thank you for bringing more awareness to sustainable materials. Still to this day, many fashion houses still are not moving away from animal-based and petroleum-based materials due to costs in production and marketing, and this must change. LVMH even has their own production for exotic leathers. Wearing dead animals is not fashionable, it is disgusting exploitation of animals and horrible for the environment. And you are not doing anyone a favor when you purchase faux leather products which are devastating for the environment. Plant-based leather is the only way to go, and I truly hope that consumers will realize it sooner and not later.

[@강연경-h9e]

I was deeply impressed by the scientific approach to addressing current environmental issues. Clothing is essential in daily life, making it challenging to restrict consumption. After watching this lecture, I could contemplate healthier and more environmentally friendly clothing consumption. Through this lecture, many designers, scientists, and others have taken the first step towards addressing the problems they will need to solve in the future.

[@willqin4628]

At first, I am thinking TED is on a downtrend with fashion and sponsored products. After watching it, it really surprised me that this kind of material is real.

[@pixiemagic36]

Why would you asume that a TED talk discussing fashion would be 'downtrending' its value? As the speaker mentioned, fashion is just as much a part of us as our desire to create art or music, its simply another avenue where function is now accesible so lets go beyond that and create, explore, make statements and design that which is an intrinsic part of our daily lives. Everything you wear, every clothing item pattern... is fashion. You may not be interested in fashion, thats totally fine but to immedietly dismiss it's very mention shows that you are really uninformed or unaware of how closely it coexists with human history and life.

[@madararam2853]

Handbag Manufacturer from Asia here. USD 30 per square foot is 6-10x more expensive than normal Italian leather. How will they replace leather with that kind of price?

[@youtubegirlletty]

This is EXACTLY what I'm looking for

[@averyrosecloud]

Oh, I'm 100% down for this. Hopefully if more people start to grow & make it, it will actually be able to be sold cheaper than high grade leather, thus making it more accessible & accepted. I hope this gets taken up fast.

[@angelicakno2714]

I'm speechless, it's just amazing 👏

[@NathalieLazo]

Remarkable person reading this.. It’s going to get better; all it is a season of opportunity to grow and be better than before. Challenging times are meant to strengthen us, not to break us. Success doesn’t define to what happened to us; it is how we choose to deal with our circumstances. The more you grow and develop as an incredible person as you are, the more things will change for the better. Forgive more (for you), be grateful for even the smallest things (we have it way better than someone else), choose love over ego, choose humility over ego (humility is strength), and finally, invest into new skills so that your future self will thank you. Our lives will change forever the more we grow. Be thankful for the challenges for we know something greater is coming. Love you always - Nathalie ✨❤️

One question. When is it going to be cheaper to buy than leather?

[@kathen58]

Probably when true scale happens, as per the typical pattern.

[@bibliofiliafull]

I think it's a very impressive work that he shows here, but my problem is the notion that "wanting more and more" is human nature. No dude, it's not human nature, it's capitalism.

Okay look, I absolutely love the idea of mushroom leather and sustainable fashion But come on with those big name brands! I have never been able to afford an Adidas shoe in my life. Ditto for Lululemon and all the other brands he's mentioned. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the bulk of society is more in the Walmart price range. How is this going to help global climate change if it's only affordable to like 10% of the population?

[@TheEduardoturi]

Too expensive. It has to find a good cost balance for that to have a bigger impact to the society and environment.

[@kerflop]

When the demand is higher and there are more producers it will be affordable.

[@commieTerminator]

[@benderthefourth3445]

Interesting, how much water it consumes to produce a meter square of material? Personally I think the future of fashion must be SLOW. Fast fashion need to die and we need a self expression revolution to make it happen

[@billdale1]

Very good--- but Mister Nerd, sir, leather is just a byproduct of dead cows we bred for food. Impossible Burger, Beyond Meat, Boca, and others have created fake meat that tastes good, but is ironically more expensive than real beef, and some or all of these fake meats are arguably not optimum nutrition. The challenge, Mr. Nerd, is to take the next step and make slaughtering animals unnecessary, and also less expensive. It seems like it should be easy since growing cattle means creating bones, hooves, horns and other parts that are useful only to the cow. Thank you for your efforts.

Isn't leather a byproduct tho? If we're using livestock for their meat we may as well use the leather.

[@GT-ci9jd]

Cows have hundreds if not thousands of byproduct uses, leather being 1 of them. We don't raise cattle only for the leather. The mushroom work is great, and we should continue to explore ways to produce the goods we need, but comparing mushrooms to cows is far worse than apples to oranges comparisons.

One thing's for sure, they'll never replace the animals. There's nothing worth eating in them. While they're nice to eat, you'll never be able to live on them while you can live on meat.

[@gravity8087]

I've been living for a decent while now and I still haven't eaten meat...

[@Barboron]

This guy just throwing out key phrases/terms. This sounds interesting but renewable energies require non-renewable materials used to make very specific bits of equipment that generally can't be repaired and require massive energy input to make (wind farms and the electronics in it, once these break, they break). Renewable materials, these materials are made from something and converting a material requires energy. The benefit to natural materials it's using natural processes but wanting to scale this into large scale to replace leather....isn't going to be sustainable. Cows provide food as well as clothing. The resources needed to create factories and put energy into making these mushroom farms won't be the saving grace this man thinks, and is leading others to think it is. Save yourself 6 years. Don't eat bugs.
