German fashion designer makes clothes from milk
BERLIN: A young fashion designer from the German city of Hanover is revolutionizing high fashion by designing clothes with a

staple she can find in her fridge - milk.

Anke Domaske, 28, has developed a fabric called QMilch made from high concentrations of the milk protein casein - the first

man-made fiber produced entirely without chemicals.

Made from all natural materials, the QMilch fabric is ecological but also has many health benefits, said Domaske, who also

said the amino acids in the protein are antibacterial, anti-aging and can help regulate both blood circulation and body

temperature.


Domaske's fashion label Mademoiselle Chi Chi - a favorite among the likes of Mischa Barton and Ashlee Simpson - has now

started weaving the milk fiber into its collection. (Reuters)
