SUMMARY:

The objective of this work is to investigate and design a second skin from biomimicry and biotechnology, "raised", so that it can respond to the needs of physical changes experienced by users, avoiding the current size system.
In the combination of biomimicry and biological materials, and their link with the body, we find the possibility of developing a second personalized biological skin, prioritizing biological and ecologically sustainable needs before cultural impositions.
To think of clothing as one of the great promoters of fashion has enshrined market projects that involve a massive productive scale that, through a combination of measures, forces human plurality to limit itself to a few sizes. In fact, the item of clothing determines established patterns that are repeated many times varying the color or the pattern but starting from the same mold. This will be done as many times as necessary for the number of sizes that the brand proposes, giving the possibility of replicating the same object that does not have a preset owner.
Thinking about clothes as fashion promoters has enshrined market projects that involve a massive productive scale. Using a combination of measures, force human plurality to limit itself to a few sizes.
In effect, clothing determines patterns that are repeated many times, varying only the color or the print but starting from the same pattern. This will be done as many times as necessary for the number of sizes that the brand proposes, giving the possibility of replicating the same object that does not have a preset owner.
On the other hand, the collection of clothing that is not consumed, occupies space, and transport costs, but is also the product of polluting processes, and use of animals, etc.
This type of industry is carried out in informal production systems - such as clandestine clothing workshops.
A second skin with greater durability would avoid harmful surpluses, both economically and socially, as well as ecologically.
   For all the above, it is argued that adding a biotechnology laboratory to the clothing designer's workshop can      bring interesting cultural changes in terms of responsibility and sustainability in the field of the fashion industry.
