The German fashion designer Anke Domaske has applied her knowledge as microbiologist to create a fibre produced out of milk. Milk protein fibre is a kind of fresh fibre that has very healthy functions. It contains eighteen amino-acids that are beneficial to human health. The fabrics made of these fibres nourish and take care of skin in a very efficient manner by keeping away allergies and even wrinkles. The amino acids present in the fibre make it antibacterial and antifungal. It is hygroscopic in nature, as such it absorbs moisture very well. Milk textile has a glossy and luxurious appearance combined with the soft and comfortable feeling of silk. The milk yarn has got many properties that are enough to make it one of the most sought after fabrics of the future.

Although humans will always need clothing, we are becoming more and more critical of what to wear. Just a new colour or a new cut doesn’t seduce enough anymore to buy new items every season. Other factors such as sustainability and wellness are becoming more important aspects to make us spend money in financial tough and insecure times. People are investing more in themselves recognising to be the most important asset in a competitive society and health and beauty are pivotal topics therefore. The milk textile offers a kind of wellness program what makes it eco cool. Milk fibre is a magic combination of ancient times when Cleopatra was famous for her milk bath and modern days where feeling and looking good is a driving purpose. It combines two of the most powerful businesses, fashion and beauty while focusing on ecological and sustainability.
