Decomposable duds

Textile pioneer Unitika Ltd unveiled its latest clothing line in Tokyo on Monday — the new range of raiment made of a corn-based eco-friendly fabric, allowing it to naturally decompose.

The likes of swimsuits and skimpy skirts however do open the product to comments along the lines of “it looks good enough to eat”; however readers can rest assured that such corn-related crassness has no place on these pages.

Such a worthy and worthwhile invention demands nothing but the utmost respect, and one can only marvel over how long it would take for the garments featured in Unitika’s upcoming November calendar to completely disappear.
