Suzanne Lee (born 1970) is a Brooklyn, New York based fashion designer working on fashion and future technologies.
She is a Senior Research Fellow at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, the Director of The BioCouture Research Project, and Chief Creative Officer at Modern Meadow.
Her recent Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) funded project BioCouture looks at ecological and sustainability issues surrounding fashion. She is working with scientists to engineer optimized organisms for growing future consumer products.
In 2007 she published Fashioning the Future: Tomorrow's Wardrobe. The book examines the work of the scientific researchers and fashion designers, such as Issey Miyake, Hussein Chalayan, and Walter Van Beirendonck, who are transforming today’s science fiction into tomorrow’s reality.
BioCouture is a research project using nature to suggest an innovative future fashion vision. Suzanne Lee uses microbial cellulose (composed of millions of tiny bacteria grown in bathtubs of sweet green tea) to produce clothing. The idea is to grow a dress in a vat of liquid.

BioCouture is a research project harnessing nature to propose a radical future fashion vision. We are investigating the use of microbial-cellulose, grown in a laboratory, to produce clothing. Our ultimate goal is to literally grow a dress in a vat of liquid... Suzanne Lee is Director of the project and a Senior Research Fellow at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London. She is collaborating with scientists to unite design with cutting edge bio and nano-technologies. Lee is the author of 'Fashioning The Future: tomorrow's wardrobe' published by Thames & Hudson.

Suzanne Lee of BioCouture explains how she makes clothes that are "grown using bacteria" in this movie filmed at the Wearable Futures conference in London in December. "There's a whole spectrum of organisms that can grow material," says Lee, who founded BioCouture to explore how organisms like bacteria, yeast, fungi and algae could be harnessed to produce fabrics.

Moderated by Marcy Simon, this session will take a closer look at the advantages of engineering materials using living organisms and emerging applications in biomanufacture. Ginger Dosier from bioMason creates construction materials such as bricks and cement using bacteria. Peter Verstrate is involved in the development of In Vitro cultured meat without the use of animals. Suzanne Lee has pioneered in a research that allows her to grow clothing materials such as leather in labs by using microbial cellulose. In the increasing global demands of our times, biofabrication serves as a sustainable solution to meet our needs without taking a toll on the environment and animals. DLD (Digital-Life-Design) is a global network on innovation, digitization, science and culture which connects business,...
Learn more: http://www.aeg.co.uk/care/inspiration/the-next-black/ In the The Next Black, a documentary about the Future of Clothing, we meet Suzanne Lee, director of Biocouture, a consultancy exploring living organisms to grow clothing and accessories.
We caught up with Biocouture founder Suzanne Lee, a company who grows their own clothing materials out of various bacteria and other ingredients. Suzanne tells all in this exclusive interview with our guest presenter Jamie East (more info on Jamie at the bottom) from how she got into this type of fashion to step by step details of how to grow your own clothes.

Suzanne Lee talks about how and why, as a designer, she grows materials using minimal resources and living organisms like bacteria. We should look to biology for solutions to the smart, sustainable consumer products of tomorrow. In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxFlanders, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxFlanders event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulatio...

Suzanne is particularly interested in evidence based practice and research methods, so looking at how we can apply the evidence to our practice to ensure we’re giving women and babies the best possible care.

Designer Suzanne Lee uses bacteria to grow a jacket http://www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/trashfashion
Breaking through the waves again, floating by the waters edge
where I lay my mind to rest, sun beats down on my face,
harsh south-east blows in the trees, no footprints in the sand,
feel like I'm the only one on this earth, so at ease,
and this day, seasonal. Winter fade, seasonal.
This is a time to renew, clean the slate, wash away,
this is a place to escape,,shed the skin, wash away, memory erased.
And in my mind I hibernate, waiting for dawn to break,
sun shines through the clouds again, winter fades, start afresh [x2]
Season of spring, season of spring, breathe into me, wash over me,
