Emily Crane's Edible Micro-Nutrient Couture Fashion

Creativity is taken to the ultimate, when Emily Crane is the designer in charge.

Welcome to Micro-Nutrient Couture and clothes that can be eaten. Using gelatine, kappa carrageenan, seaweed extracts and edible foaming agents Crane’s created a line of accesories and one-off dresses based on a challenge of zero resources used to create fashion futures.

The Kington University grad collaborated with Heston Blumenthal’s Fat Duck restaurant in learning the techniques of molecular mixology, writes Don’t Panic.

In describing her Vimeo film, Crane writes:

Micro-Nutrient Couture’ is a sensory world of transient fashion where no one but the individual will ever wear the same dress again. Through this unique process and development of new materiality I have laid an innovative creative foundation for future fashion design, conscious of the restraints of our future planet and the impact from current fashion cycles, my methods look towards ‘survival’ as a key factor informing my processes, fashion is no longer a thing of simple beauty, but of nutrition also.
