Is Biofashion Possible?

This article discusses Biofashion as a concept of the future scenario designed for sustainability in the textile and clothing industry. The purpose is to create a new fashion segment tending to intervene in the current patterns of textile manufacturing related to Biofabricated and Bioassembled materials derived from fungi and/or bacteria and produced on a reduced scale within a distributed economy. The article is supported by bibliographic studies and examples of textile materials already being developed within this context. The article discusses the relevance and the advances necessary for realizing this new proposed scenario. After all, the authors concluded that there is still no clear-cut definition of “Bio” for the proposed concept, as its preparation is still changing. However, considering there is a relationship closest to the fields of conception and development, as well as experimentation in the strategic design, science, and material technology through designing advanced materials, it is a promising route for dealing with the “Biofashion” construct and its sustainable perspective of Biofabrication.
