Technological advances and developments in the world of fashion today have <br /> <br /> created many new trends, one of which is BioCouture. This is a trend of using <br /> <br /> fermented yeast and bacteria which may form a cellulose structure or commonly <br /> <br /> known as SCOBY (Symbiotic Colony Of Bacteria and Yeast) as a fashion product <br /> <br /> material. In Indonesia, the existence of BioCouture-based fashion products is not <br /> <br /> popular yet due to low awareness of using environmentally friendly materials as <br /> <br /> an alternative material among textile producers and fashion designers. This <br /> <br /> material can replace the leather because it is not fibrous, having similarity in the <br /> <br /> texture and not harmful. This research focused on the motif and textures through <br /> <br /> natural dyes, food dyes and Aspergillus niger.sp, where each of which produces <br /> <br /> unique and different characters. The research used descriptive and experimental <br /> <br /> methods. The design of fashion products will be combined between the style patch <br /> <br /> and the motif and texture of the natural material coloring. <br /> <br /> Properties of SCOBY having high absorption make it easy to apply the variety of <br /> <br /> motifs and colors on the material and produce Bio-Leather products that can <br /> <br /> penetrate the light. By providing an alternative to environmentally friendly <br /> <br /> BioCouture-based fashion products, it is expected that such products can attract a <br /> <br /> lot of interests from the public particularly in Indonesia and provide new insights <br /> <br /> and understanding in the fashion world as a starting point to develop BioCouture <br /> <br /> motifs and textures in fashion products.
