Fabric made from milk?  Will your next dress be good for the body too?  The answer is YES!  German fashion designer, Anke Domaske has developed a fabric called Qmilch (merging "quality" with the German word for milk) made from powdered milk.  It is the first man-made fiber produced without chemicals and feels like silk, doesn't smell and is washable.  The material contains amino acids that are apparently antibacterial and anti-aging as well as help regulate blood circulation and body temperature! So, what does this mean for the future of linens in the event industry?  Will the napkins we use feel better and the chair covers we sit on keep us warm and comfy?
