Qmilk: Fabric Made From Milk

Have you heard of Qmilk? It's a German company that is making fabric from non-food milk, specifically the milk protein casein. Casein is the reason I have stopped drinking dairy milk, as it is said to cause cancer. Almond milk only over here. (Watch Forks Over Knives to see the study on casein and cancer correlation.)

A perfect alternative to fabrics that negatively impact the environment, Qmilk is said to feel like silk, is anti-bacterial and even compostable upon end usage.

Fashion designer/microbiologist Anke Domaske, who came up with this fabric is a genius in my eyes and I can only hope that Qmilk will be a household name in a few years.

Every eco-conscious fashionista will be lusting over one of these dresses. I certainly am but with a $200-$270 price tag it may be a while for any Mademoiselle Chi Chi or other Qmilk products makes their way into my closet.
