Stella McCartney's World Debut of Mylo™️ Vegan Leather of Sustainable Mushrooms

Stella McCartney will present her Winter 2021 Collection online Tuesday, March 23 at stellamccartney.com 10 am. The most exciting element of Stella McCartney’s winter 2021 show will be the world’s first-ever garments made from vegan, lab-grown Mylo™️ mushroom leather.

Earnest environmentalist and nature-keeper Paris Jackson will be center stage for the big event. Stella used Mylo™️ to create two garments –a black bustier top and utilitarian trousers– that are not for sale, but “do embody the potential of this next-generation material and pave the way for future commercial offerings.”

“These rare, exclusive Mylo™️ pieces embody our shared commitment with Bolt Threads to innovate a kinder fashion industry – one that sees the birth of beautiful, luxurious materials as opposed to the deaths of our fellow creatures and planet,” says Stella McCartney.

Mylo™️ is certified bio-based, meaning it is made predominantly from renewable ingredients found in nature today. Scientists at Bolt Threads have spawned a new category of material science by reproducing what happens under the forest floor, where mycelium grows best, in a lab with mulch, air and water.

AOC has tracked Stella’s out front leadership in the development of exciting new materials, and we last wrote about Mylo™️ at the end of December 2019.
