As Reuters and Trophy Wife report, German fashion designer Anke Domaske has developed a new and unique fabric called QMilch, made from high concentrations of the milk protein casein.
The casein is extracted from dried milk powder and heated up with other natural ingredients. The fiber comes out in strands and is then spun into yarn, from which the fabric is made. The heating process ensures that the molecules will bind in a way that the fabric won't decompose, is washable just like regular clothing and will remain scent-free.
According to Domaske, the fabric has a whole list of benefits: it can help with poor blood circulation, support anti-aging, and due to the fact that it is produced entirely without chemicals it can also be used in medicine and make-up.
Currently the designer's line Mademoiselle Chi Chi is made from a combination of fabrics, including QMilch. But Domaske plans to design a collection made entirely from the milk fiber.
The production of one dress would require about six liters (1.5 gallons) of milk and would cost around $200, which is well within the budget of celebrity customers like Mischa Barton and Ashlee Simpson.
