This $5,000 jacket was dyed by bacteria

It started with scarves dyed by bacteria in a lab. Now, Normal Phenomena of Life is a luxury online store offering fashion, beauty, and lifestyle products created with microbes. Call it haute couture. The store’s first products include face oil derived from fungi ($80), prints enhanced by algal ink ($245), and the company’s signature Exploring Jacket ($4,895), colored by Streptomyces coelicolor. These items are all available for purchase in the U.K. Read more at Fast Company
