Fashion is always a statement piece. Nobody is ever just wearing something. Clothes can express a lifestyle or a state of mind. When you choose to wear clothes that have dormant slime mold on it, an organism living on your clothes, what does that say about you?

Is it disgusting? Is it to not feel alone? Would you rather have the slime grow on your skin and the clothes are just the next possible option?

Is it disgusting? Is it to not feel alone? Would you rather have the slime grow on your skin and the clothes are just the next possible option? Not only the slime mold on the clothes is alive, the clothes itself have different life cycles: the Physarum can be removed and be regrwon in a petri-dish. In the meantime the clothes can be washed. Then the organism can be reapplied onto the clothes. And everytime a new and unique clothing piece will be created. It is growing and changing like the slime mold.

~~Let me tell~~ you ~~what~~ i ~~want~~ to ~~express~~, when ~~wearing~~ the ~~Physarum~~ clothes.

Fashion is connected to cycles, it is alsways changing. What is in today may be ugly tomorrow. Physarum has its own cycles and you can never rely on it to be suitable for a clothing piece.

When wearing Physarum clothes i am not taking part in the fast fashion world. Neither am I taking part in the sustainable fashion world, that claims to be connected to nature. I am in a different world - Physarum's world. I am sharing my body with a living organism that usually grows deep in the forest on rotten wood. When wearing fast fashion I am connected to nature, but in a disgusting way.

Physarum is slimy, it is mold and at the same time can star to be moldy itself, it might smell, it might get a brownish colour when being pressed into the clothes.
