<\/span>Tina Gorjanc, a wildly ambitious student at Central Saint Martins in London, has proposed a rather odd fashion design idea: to use lab-grown human skin as fabric. Which is, admittedly, better than using synthetic human skin. And it\u2019s not just any human skin either; using Alexander McQueen\u2018s DNA, Gorjanc is building a replica of the late iconic designer\u2019s skin, which she will then use as the material for her collection, Pure Human. Apparently, with this collection\u2014which is her final project with the two-year CSM master\u2019s course MA Material Futures\u2014the London design student is attempting to \u201caddress shortcomings concerning the protection of biological information.\u201d<\/span>

<\/span>From Tina Gorjanc\u2019s project \u2018Body Spam.\u2019<\/span>

<\/span>At this point, you\u2019re probably wondering how Gorjanc plans to get her hands on McQueen\u2019s DNA. But before you chalk it up to \u201cgrave digging,\u201d remember that McQueen attached a lock of his hair to every piece of his first collection, \u201cJack the Ripper Stalks His Victims.\u201d It was from a piece in this collection that Gorjanc was able to procure a lock of his hair. After extracting genetic material from said hair, she was able to harvest the cells into skin tissue, and then tan the material to produce \u201chuman leather.\u201d If you\u2019re not already covered in goosebumps, then you probably need to think about your life choices.<\/span>

<\/span>And if that weren\u2019t enough, in May, Gorjanc filed a patent application to use McQueen\u2019s genetic information with her technical processes, potentially making Alexander McQueen leather her own. \u201cIf a student like me was able to patent a material extracted from Alexander McQueen\u2019s biological information as there was no legislation to stop me,\u201d Gorjanc said, \u201cwe can only imagine what big corporations with bigger funding are going to be capable of doing in the future.\u201d<\/span>
For Pure Human, Gorjanc plans to make backpacks, bags, and jackets. She\u2019s already made a few prototypes from pig skin, which she embellished with decorative freckle designs in order to give them a real flesh feeling.<\/span>

<\/span>While it certainly pushes the limits of fashion, this project isn\u2019t the first time Gorjanc has played with human skin. In a previous project entitled Body Spam, the Londoner incorporated synthetic bacterial systems, the logos of popular brands, and a horror movie villain attitude into surreal works. The synthetic materials were created as an implant on one\u2019s skin using plaster, silicone, and body paint to look like a Chanel logo was rising from under the skin. The final product doesn\u2019t actually break the skin, but the result looks realistic enough to make you do a double take\u2014and question humanity.<\/span>
