It sounds exciting, but it can all be difficult to understand if you aren’t a biochemist. I spoke to Spiber CEO Sekiyama about this fibre, the collaboration with Iris van Herpen and how his company plans to strengthen fashion’s supply chain and “help keep the peace”. Vogue: How exciting to have a dress made of Spiber’s bio-based fibres in the Iris van Herpen show. But what is Brewed Protein™? Spiber is a Japanese biotechnology company, and we make a man-made protein called Brewed Protein™. As you know, everything about you is made up of DNA. DNA is composed of 20 different amino acids. The order these amino acids come into — as well as their length — defines the difference between features like your muscles, skin and eyes, and any other protein. Silk, cashmere — they are also protein-based materials. So we have come up with a way to produce a protein-based material in a lab through what we call a microbial fermentation process, which is basically how you also make yoghurt or cheese. I met my mentor, Professor Masaru Tomita, who is the founder and general director of the Institute for Advanced Bio Sciences at Keio University, when I was a senior in high school. He told me the interdisciplinary advances between the life sciences and computer sciences are changing the world. He said this is where the solutions for all the world’s problems — like food, energy, the environment — can be found. So that inspired me, and I entered his lab in 2004 and started my own research at the same time, together with my co-founder Junichi Sugahara, where we looked to reproduce the spider silk protein through microbial fermentation. We analysed about 1,000 species of spider and their threads. In 2007, we succeeded in replicating a very small amount of spider silk completely in the lab. And that’s when we established the company.Rangers Henrik Lundqvist Happy Thanksgiving Premium Shirt
Indeed, spider fibre. We were talking with some colleagues in the lab, and someone mentioned that spider silk is a really tough and good material — hence Spider-Man. Its toughness per weight is, I think, seven times higher than [heat-resistant synthetic fibre] Kevlar. However, a few years after we founded the company, we found that the spider silks have a physical property called super contraction. That means that when it touches water, it shrinks a lot, which isn’t really helpful when you are trying to make clothes. Imagine getting caught in the rain and your jacket begins to shrink. So we had to go back to the DNA design and work on creating a new type of DNA that could actually be used in the apparel industry. So even though the company started with a mission to replicate spider silks, the protein that we produce now is not that — it’s our own unique DNA design, which is suitable for apparel products.
