Stella McCartney has launched garments made from Mylo-a leather alternative grown from mushroom. The designer is known for never using any animal skin or furs as part of her collection in her 20-year-long career. She recently launched her first ever Mylo garments- a black bustier and utility pants.

These garments embody Stella’s effortless sensuality and signature dichotomy of feminine and masculine attitudes. Entirely unique and cruelty-free, they symbolize a future where style will not be compromised for sustainability. The garments have been designed to have minimal environmental impact and save water, reduce carbon footprint and protect vital ecosystems like the Amazon from deforestation.

The first product ever created with the mycelium-based material was a prototype of Stella McCartney's iconic Falabella bag, which debuted as part of the V&A’s Fashioned from Nature exhibition in 2018.
