Spiber’s Brewed Protein™ Fiber Featured in S|STYLE 2026 – Wardrobe Edition with Kering Material Innovation Lab
Spiber’s Brewed Protein™ fiber was featured in the work of two designers, Srushti Patil and Quine Li, for S|STYLE 2026 – Wardrobe Edition, a program founded and curated by Giorgia Cantarini, presented during Milan Fashion Week in collaboration with Kering’s Material Innovation Lab (MIL).
Presented on September 25–26, 2026, at Kering Italy’s headquarters in Milan, S|STYLE 2026 brought together ten international designers to reinterpret the contemporary wardrobe through clothing, bags, footwear and accessories, with a focus on innovative non-leather materials.
In collaboration with Kering MIL, participating designers were invited to explore next-generation materials and incorporate them into their individual creative visions.
