As a preview of the Future Fabrics Expo in January 2020, C.L.A.S.S. key
members will bring a selection of innovative and responsible materials to
the UK. Two masterclasses will be held at The Sustainable Angle’s West
London studio on November 7.
Based in Milan, C.L.A.S.S. is a unique multi-platform hub with a focus
on integrating smart values into fashion, products and businesses. Since
2007, C.L.A.S.S. has become the global resource for smart material
innovation, education, marketing and empowers businesses by providing them
with the guidance needed to be competitive yet socially responsible.
Giusy Bettoni (CEO and founder of C.L.A.S.S.) and Luca Olivini (Eco Hub
Material Manager) will be presenting innovative materials from the
Smart Material Bank and will hold two masterclasses on the topics
of responsible innovation and circular economy in the fashion industry.
C.L.A.S.S. will discuss how a new way of design thinking with materials
can shift our culture and empower designers to be socially responsible
while remaining competitive. During the masterclasses, the unique education
platform and e-shop Smart Material Bank will also be presented.
This platform aims to foster the creativity of responsible fashion students
and designers with small order quantities.
The masterclasses will take place at London’s Sustainable Angle studio
where over 5000 sustainable materials from 170 global textile suppliers are
showcased. Fabrics on display are suited for a wide range of market levels
and product types, making it one of the largest and most diverse showrooms
of commercially available sustainable materials in the fashion
industry.
