One of the major problems in the fashion industry is water pollution caused by the harmful textile dyes. Therefore, my project focusses on how biodesign can reduce the use of harmful textile dyes by the use of fungi.
This project focusses on one of the major problems in the fashion industry: water pollution.
I believe biodesign can reduce the use of harmful textile dyes. Fungi are a promising source for this. There are different fungal species that create pigments

About Ilse Kremer
I am a fashion/textile designer and biodesigner. I have recently graduated from Willem de Kooning Academy.
I don’t believe in the fast fashion industry, nor mass production. Sustainability is therefore an important aspect of my work. I love to work with recycling and natural dyeing methods.
Furthermore, I am obsessed with colour. I believe colour is a way of expressing yourself. I am also interested in technology, especially in the benefits it can bring into a more sustainable way of fashion.
