Biofabricate invites you to a special 30-minute webinar introducing Grow with Ephea® — an open call for recently graduated fashion designers and emerging brands ready to challenge conventions and reimagine the future of fashion.
Created by Sqim, the innovators behind Ephea®, this competition celebrates avant-garde design fused with radical sustainability. Participants are invited to design a garment, accessory, or mini collection that embodies both vision and viability, using Ephea® Willow — an innovative, biofabricated material crafted from mycelium.
At the heart of this challenge lies a question:
How can conscious creativity transform the language of luxury?
Ephea® Willow offers a new material canvas — one that calls for bold experimentation, elegant design thinking, and responsible innovation. Through this open call, you’ll have the opportunity to shape fashion’s sustainable evolution, telling a story of beauty, depth, and purpose.
