Scarlett Yang creates biomaterial dress that can decompose in hours

Central Saint Martins graduate Scarlett Yang used algae extract and silk cocoon protein to create a glass-like dress that grows over time and can decompose in water within 24 hours.

The biomaterial dress changes shape in response to different humidity and temperature levels, twisting and creasing as these conditions increase.

As the London-based graduate explains, this is variable depending on the geographic location and season that the garment is worn in. During a dry winter, for instance, the garment would stiffen and look more sculptural.
