CLASS is set to participate in the 62nd edition of Filo, focusing on sustainable and responsible innovations in the textile industry. Its participation aligns with the “Sustainability from A to Z” project, which has been active for four seasons. The initiative promotes an ethical and transparent production chain, aiming to assess impact from the earliest stages, including fibers and yarns.
The collaboration between CLASS and Filo underscores their shared commitment to innovation, with an emphasis on environmentally conscious production solutions. Visitors will explore a variety of innovative materials that represent both the present and future of responsible creativity in fashion and textiles.
Highlighting this commitment, CLASS has selected three start-ups offering innovative solutions:
Brewed Protein by Spiber: This unique protein fiber is produced using plant-based ingredients through a precision fermentation process. It offers luxurious textiles while reducing the environmental concerns associated with animal-derived fibers like cashmere and silk.
Innuance: Known for its responsible dyeing innovations, Innuance uses patented technology to apply highly purified, edible colors. This method eliminates hazardous substances and ensures safety for the environment, workers, and consumers, while maintaining the quality of traditional dyeing techniques.
ephea Aura by Sqim: Derived from mycelium, ephea Aura offers a sustainable alternative to traditional materials like leather. The start-up transforms low-value feed stocks into high-quality textiles through proprietary fermentation technology, promoting circularity and innovation without compromising durability or aesthetics.
Giusy Bettoni, CEO and Founder of CLASS, will moderate key discussions during Filo, including “Let’s Take Nature to the Next Level” and “Authentico by Schneider Group & Marzotto Group.” These talks will highlight innovative, sustainable solutions within the textile industry.
This collaboration aims to transform the fashion industry by promoting sustainable, ethical production practices.
