Ecouture – A Design Laboratory for the Future of Fashion

A Design Laboratory for the Future of Fashion
Ecouture is Felder Felder’s ongoing design laboratory—a creative space where innovative design, speculative thinking, and material exploration converge to reimagine what fashion can be.
For over a decade, we have been at the forefront of circular and regenerative design, investigating how next-generation biomaterials and plant-based textile alternatives can provide sustainable solutions to replace extractive and animal-derived inputs.
From seaweed textiles to fruit-based “leathers,” and silky fabrics spun from citrus waste or laser-cut kombucha SCOBY, Ecouture transforms pioneering ideas into tangible products through research-led design explorations, exhibitions, showcases, and collaborative guides.
We do not produce seasonal collections; instead, we partner with textile innovators, research teams, and forward-thinking brands to unlock creative applications for emerging materials and processes.
Through Ecouture, we aim to explore new possibilities, provoke meaningful questions, and spark practical solutions for a regenerative and cruelty-free future—all through the lens of design and education.
