A young fashion designer from Germany has produced the first man-made synthetic fibre entirely without chemicals. And she did it with a staple you can find in your fridge — milk! The fabric is called QMilch, and is made from high concentrations of the milk protein, casein.

Anke Domaske, 28, says her fabric is ecological but also has many health benefits. According to her, the amino acids in the protein are antibacterial, anti-ageing and can help regulate both blood circulation and body temperature. “It feels like silk and it doesn’t smell — you can wash it just like anything else,” Domaske told Reuters. Her fashion label Mademoiselle Chi Chi — a favorite among the likes of Mischa Barton and Ashlee Simpson — has now started weaving the milk fibre into its collection.
