Researchers at the Bioalloy lab at the University of Western Australia have managed to turn wine into dresses. Entitled Micro'be' the fermented fashion project uses a colony of Acetobacter bacteria — the kind that ferment wine into vinegar – to create 'micro fibrils of cellulose', a material similar to cotton which is used to fashion the garments.
