Amid a growing backlash against fast fashion, firms are looking at new fabrics from mushrooms and pineapples.

Bolt Threads uses mycelium to create its Mylo"leather," which has been incorporated into. She has also used its vegan"silk", which is created by bioengineering yeast.

As with many innovations, the biggest challenge Mylo faces is affordability - unlike PVC it costs a similar amount to real leather. It is made by extracting cellulose fibre from trees and its manufacture is thought to use 95% less water than cotton processing.Austria's Lenzing Group says it is seeing"strong demand" for the fibre and is building the world's biggest Lyocell plant in Thailand.

"I don't think you should consider buying any item of clothing unless you commit to 30 wears. Unless you can do that you're not even starting to be sustainable. You are creating a waste problem," says Dr Blackburn.
