In World 275 clothes are living entities, growing, blooming and becoming from devices enacted by worms and bacteria of the human body. As the war ended this evolved into a complex technology that became the basis for seasonal fashion systems. Wearing naturally grown clothing is now normalised and associated with different textures and garments. The origin of this culture can be traced back to the wars and radical consequences of global warming around century BC.
