COPENHAGEN, Denmark, Oct. 4, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Biomaterials innovator MycoWorks debuted its first Made with Reishi™ ready-to-wear application at Copenhagen Fashion Week with the Stockholm-based brand Deadwood Studios. The collaboration is the first demonstration of Reishi™ Natural–MycoWorks' one-of-a-kind material created with Fine Mycelium™– in clothing design, signaling the revolutionary biomaterial's adoption by a new generation of designers.

Key Points:

Awestruck by the inherent variability of Reishi™, Deadwood Studios co-founders Carl Ollson and Felix von Bahder began working with MycoWorks' Product Development team for applications in ready-to-wear.
"Every square centimeter of this material is a work of art itself, and Nature is the artist.
MycoWorks has chosen to partner with Deadwood Studios for their sustainability commitments, as the fashion company has pledged 80% of their materials being recycled, upcycled, or next generation-based.
Deadwood has really taken the Reishi™ for what it is, and harnessed the natural characteristics of mycelium into raw, beautiful, and natural design."
