This collection merges nature, tradition, and biodesign into a&nbsp;fascinating vision of sustainable fashion. Growing lace from cereal roots, bio-materials, and traditional techniques are combined with inspiration from Czech and Slovak folk costumes. The bio-folklore garments, crafted from wheat and barley roots, raw wool, dried grass, and pressed seeds, symbolise the significance of grain as both sustenance and wealth. <strong>Amber Grain<\/strong> pushes the boundaries of fashion and sparks discussions about the future of sustainable clothing, making it one of the most anticipated projects of this year\u2019s show.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An unforgettable Fashion Show, a&nbsp;fusion of designers from around the world and a&nbsp;passion for creativity and originality \u2013 Zlin Design Week 2025 is searching for [&hellip;]","protected":false},"author":47,"featured_media":35676,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"class_list":["post-32918","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/zlindesignweek.com\/2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32918","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/zlindesignweek.com\/2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/zlindesignweek.com\/2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zlindesignweek.com\/2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/47"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zlindesignweek.com\/2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32918"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/zlindesignweek.com\/2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32918\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":35682,"href":"https:\/\/zlindesignweek.com\/2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32918\/revisions\/35682"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zlindesignweek.com\/2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/35676"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/zlindesignweek.com\/2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32918"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zlindesignweek.com\/2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=32918"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
