This talk will showcase the innovations of  cutting-edge vegan materials replacing animal hides and furs – from cactus leather and banana silk to soybean cashmere and corn fur, highlighting the potential for them to return to the earth. Some of the materials will be available to see and touch, allowing visitors to experience their potential and properties for themselves, and discuss how to use them for making clothes and other fashion items.
