These new Balenciaga AMSilk garments have been debuted by the brand as part of its spring 2026 ready-to-wear collection to put the bioengineered material in the spotlight. The garments include a black shirtdress and a white collared shirt made with AMSilk material that gives them the look and feel of conventional silk, but with an eco-friendly edge. The material itself is microplastic-free, 100% biodegradable and vegan-friendly, while also being Vegan Society-approved and skin safety-tested by Hohenstein Textile Testing Institute.
AMSilk CEO Ulright Scherbel spoke on the Balenciaga garments saying, "Seeing our material reach consumers through a global luxury brand is a defining moment for AMSilk. This application shows that bioengineered materials are no longer experimental. They are ready for demanding industrial environments and real market adoption.”
