This year’s Met GALA was inspired by the beauty of garden and fairies- like the sensation of a good quality bamboo sheet on your bed.

The Met Gala, formally called the Costume Institute Benefit, is an annual fundraising gala held for the benefit of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute in Manhattan.  Every year, the celebrities attend showing their best dresses inspired by the theme of the year and giving a preview of the next fashion seasons.  This year, the theme of the party of Met GALA 2024 was Sleeping Beauties with the dress code “Garden of Time”.

More than just glamorous events, the fashion industry has worked to find the best products in term of texture, durability and comfort. Light, floating and stunning dresses were seen this year on Met GALA that remind of cozy materials on a nice bed.

Over the years, different fabrics have been created, including products that feel better on the skin, even for very sensitive people. One of those great materials that feels awesome on your skin is the bamboo fabric made with the fibers of bamboo plants. Durable and soft, “The production of bamboo fabric requires less water and pesticides compared to traditional cotton, making it a more sustainable option”, explains the website Better Goodness.

History of bamboo fabric production

According to Green Nettle Textiles website, “Bamboo textiles have been cultivated for thousands of years, particularly in the Asian continent. Bamboo textiles have been around for a while now but are pretty low in popularity, and it’s only recently that the textiles have been produced commercially”.

The website explains that in 1864 the businessman Philipp Lichstantaldt patented his method to dissolve the bamboo fiber but the costs of transporting bamboo from Asia stopped him to set a bamboo fabric factory.

It wasn’t until the 2000’s that the product became popular in the USA and around the world.
