C.L.A.S.S is supporting this year’s Textile Exchange Sustainability Conference which is being held in Milan, Italy from October 22-24, 2018. C.L.A.S.S is a multi-platform hub, specialising in integrating a new generation of eco values into fashion brands. The theme of the conference is United by Action: Accelerating Sustainability in Textiles and Fashion.

The conference offers an opportunity to connect with industry pioneers and learn about cutting edge solutions and innovations in textile and apparel sustainability. At the core of C.L.A.S.S.’ success is their ability to work with fashion companies to help them develop strategies that integrate a new generation of smart values throughout the supply chain, the company said in a press release.

The C.L.A.S.S. team is also available during Textile Exchange’s Sustainability Conference to demonstrate the embedded values of a fantastic range of smart material innovations backed by sustainable credentials from C.L.A.S.S.’ Material Hub.

Giusy Bettoni, C.L.A.S.S. CEO and founder and her team are having a dedicated space to engage attendees in an open discussion regarding the importance of fashion business strategies as they highlight a wide-range of responsible materials. The experience in the space, that reflects an New York event created for C.L.A.S.S. by Ginger Design, started with the vision of a film by Cristina Picchi that represents harmony between the various phases of the textile process and the cycles of natural elements. Visitors can walk through a three-dimensional installation designed by Cécile Feilchenfeldt to inspire creativity and explore the limitless possibilities using innovative smart materials.

Many of the materials the C.L.A.S.S. team is displaying speak about circular economy such as Re.VerSo, Bemberg, and Roica by Asahi Kasei, Iluna Group and Tintex Textiles, and many others. The materials use technological breakthroughs to offer fashion materials that provide significant reductions in water during the manufacturing process, an important step toward responsible future fashion systems.
