![]() ![]() ![]() Goldwin, which markets The North Face in Japan, said the production process of the material is more environmentally-friendly that traditional petroleum-based polymer fibers. The team chose to make the coat in gold hue - the natural web colour of the golden orb spider. 'We've developed advanced methods to create new, tailor-made protein materials designed at the molecular level.' 'Our team has extensively studied the diverse genetic designs found in nature,' Spiber's Vimeo video says. Spiber is remaining tight lipped about the exact process.īut the company did say that the proteins are created through a microbial fermentation process. Spiber then uses the technology to culture the microbes efficiently and weave the fibroin into fabric. ‘This fabric can be used in various industries, such as automobiles and medicine,' Spiber President Kazuhide Sekiyama told The Asahi Shimbun newspaper. The high-collared cocktail dress, which went on display at the Roppongi Hills complex in Tokyo, was created to demonstrate the technology behind Qmonos fibre. In 2013, they created an electric blue dress made from the material. This isn't the first time Spiber has attempted to create a garmnet out of synthetic spider's silk.
