THE NEW YORK TIMES

Matea Benedetti, 43, a designer from Ljubljana, Slovenia, was one of the few on site already using the material, which is a made from apple-industry waste. Her red and white apple leather gown with a train elicited a roar of applause from the crowd as it sailed down the catwalk.

Next, Ms. Benedetti is hoping to experiment with orange fiber, a supple new leather alternative set to hit the market soon. “I’m waiting for when it will be ready,” she said, adding that she also has her eye on coffee-ground leather sourced from Asia.
