💨 Abstract

A New York fashion designer, Caroline Zimbalist, creates unique dresses from corn starch and seaweed, promoting sustainable, non-fossil fuel-based materials. While some big brands have also experimented with alternative fabrics, experts question the scalability and cost-effectiveness of these biomaterials. Zimbalist's work, worn by celebrities, aims to set a precedent for greener fashion, though challenges remain in widespread adoption.
