C.L.A.S.S. is ready for yet another moment dedicated to sharing and amplifying its message of responsible innovation together with its key partners. The international eco-hub has been invited to attend the Filo fair with its own space in order to spread the word on the utmost importance of injecting innovation, sustainability, and change starting from the very beginning of the supply chain. “We are extremely pleased to be here at Filo, the fair for the very first and fundamental ingredient of fashion,” Says Giusy Bettoni, Founder and CEO of C.L.A.S.S. “We believe this is a valuable opportunity to share possibilities and chances to start a conscious and yet innovative fashion product by learning about the latest developments in smart yarns.”
“There is no sustainability without knowledge” is one of C.L.A.S.S. mantras. In order to walk the walk, on the 23rd Giusy Bettoni will host a talk titled “Responsible innovation for the contemporary consumer” discussing her deep knowledge of the sustainable landscape in textile and fashion.
