Fashion futurist: Suzanne Lee at TEDxFlanders

Suzanne Lee talks about how and why, as a designer, she grows materials using minimal resources and living organisms like bacteria. We should look to biology for solutions to the smart, sustainable consumer products of tomorrow. In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxFlanders, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxFlanders event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations.)
