Class is celebrating ten years of working to advance smart responsible values into fashion, product and business. The celebration coincides with Premiere Vision’s decision to platform these issues at this most important fair for fashion textiles, showcasing materials and knowledge exchange in this great, dedicated, Smart Square zone at the fair.

At the three-day fair beginning from September 19, Class will share some of its latest smart solutions and initiatives together with smart stories launched by its partners exhibiting at the fair including Roica, Cupro, Ecotec and Re.Verso.

Roica is the premium stretch yarn from Asahi Kasei, the Class partner. This premium stretch fibre has a range of smart functions to suit modern wardrobe needs and can be used for making comfortable fabrics for sportswear, intimate wear, fashion apparel and business wear. Cupo is the second unique material from Asahi Kasei, and is a matchless, high tech natural material, for the modern wardrobe. Ecotec by Class partner Marchi & Fildi is yarn with true circular economy credentials, made from coloured pre-consumer cotton textile off-cuts. Re.Verso by A. Stelloni by Mapel is another circular economy product range.
