TESSUTI SOSTENIBILI giovedì 10 settembre 2015
La piattaforma C.L.A.S.S. si dà alla formazione: nasce
C.L.A.S.S. Education
È partito da Milano il tour di presentazioni delle collezioni di tessuti eco-smart che fanno capo alla piattaforma C.L.A.S.S.
di Giusy Bettoni. Le altre tappe saranno Madrid, Copenhagen, Londra, New York, Parigi e per la prima volta Dubai. La
eco-library lancia C.L.A.S.S. Education, unit che si occupa di formazione ai professionisti della moda sui materiali di ultima
generazione: belli, innovativi e responsabili.
Per Giusy Bettoni - che in questo progetto si avvale delle competenze di James Mendolia, docente alla Parsons School
of Design di New York, con cui collabora da molti anni - si tratta di un’ulteriore occasione per condividere conoscenze,
introdurre idee, presentare soluzioni ecologiche e smart. Sulla base della sua personale visione dell’eco-sostenibilità legata
alla moda, imprescindibilmente legata alle qualità estetiche e innovative dei materiali.
Si parte a gennaio 2016 con un ciclo intitolato “Soluzioni innovative nel tessile: workshop di eco-fashion”, rivolto a stilisti,
rivenditori, fornitori, specialisti in product development e tecnici del settore tessile.
Durante la press preview di ieri, 9 settembre, nella sede di C.L.A.S.S. di via Vittorio Veneto 8 a Milano, Giusy Bettoni ha
fatto il punto su alcune realtà da lei seguite, come Re.Verso, piattaforma di re-ingegnerizzazione di tessuti in lana e
chasmere, creata e realizzata totalmente in Italia, da un pool di aziende leader del settore.
Sotto i riflettori anche Ecotec by Marchi & Fidi, nuovo marchio di filati 100% cotone, ottenuti grazie a un processo
produttivo, totalmente tracciabile, che trasforma ritagli tessili pre-tinti, dimezzando consumi d’acqua ed energia.
Numerose anche le novità dell’italianissima (a dispetto del nome) Okinawa di Michele Ruffin: l’azienda padovana
presenta questa stagione alle più importanti fiere di settore materiali esclusivi come Jacroki e Microki, oltre ai processi di
nobilitazione Hydroki, Washoki e Historia Tinctoria, ai quali si aggiunge la rivoluzionaria Denim Leather, una tecnica di
tintura e rifinitura per pelle ed ecopelle ispirata al denim.
Proseguono con successo anche le esperienze rappresentate da New Life e dai tessuti in cotone e tencel con tinture
naturali, a base di fiori e frutti, della giapponese Shinnaigai Textile.

FILATURA C4 (textiles inteligentes a partir de material reciclado)
·Hilatura eco-inteligente de lana
Desde 1962, Filatura C4 S.r.l está reconocida por sus aportaciones en tejeduría para usos técnicos, habiendo
creado recientemente una línea de negocio especializada en la recuperación de fibras naturales y técnicas.
Ofrece una amplia gama de hilados por tipología y estilo en tres diferentes categorizaciones: técnica, clásica
y natural. La filosofía es personalizar las innovaciones a las exigencias de cada aplicación, en un circuito
completo que va desde el concepto hasta los productos acabados, e incluye la optimización de procesos
TYPE consumer online READERSHIP n.a.
como la tintura para mejorar el resultado final.
CIRCULATION n.a
Ha formado una joint-venture con Re.Verso™, dedicada también a producir nuevos materiales ‘inteligentes’
además de eco-responsables. Ambas compañías han colaborado, con el apoyo de C.L.A.S.S. (Creativity
Lifestyle and Sustainable Synergy), para demostrar la viabilidad de la reingeniería de tejidos eco-inteligentes
basados en la lana. C.L.A.S.S. es una plataforma que promueve el uso de textiles inteligentes a partir de
tecnologías sostenibles.
Entre los múltiples desarrollos presentados en la feria, destacamos Parigold, paramida 100% procedente
de fibra reciclada. Comparada con las meta-aramidas, las principales ventajas de Parigold son mayor
resistencia a la tracción (estabilidad dimensional) y resistencia a la abrasión, menor retracción a altas
temperaturas y menor acumulación de humedad. Asimismo supera a las aramidas en las propiedades
químicas y de resistencia a la elongación y la abrasión, junto a una menor retención de humedad.

First C.L.A.S.S. Service
POSTED 17 JUL IN POSITIVE CURATORS
Giusy Bettoni has worked within the fashion industry for over 30 years, and set up her own textile-marketing agency
GBNetwork in 1993. With this amount of time spent working closely with textiles, she has also come across interesting
new techniques and technologies in the field of fabric production. To her surprise she noticed that just a few in the fashion
industry seemed to be aware of them. This fact was one of the two main reasons that she founded C.L.A.S.S. The second
being that she wanted to challenge what people perceived to be sustainable fashion.
C.L.A.S.S. is a unique international forum for textiles, fashion, lifestyle and home design that creates business
opportunities through more innovative, responsible and eco-sensible products. C.L.A.S.S. stands for Creativity, Lifestyle
And Sustainable Synergy. They provide information and opportunities around commercially available eco-textiles, yarns,
processes, finished products and services. You will find their showrooms in Milan, London, Copenhagen and Madrid,
where they offer a huge materials library that is open for businesses, designers, buyers and media, that makes researching
and sourcing these materials much easier. Aside from that, they also offer a consulting service that specializes in “a new
kind of luxury for fashion and fabrics, created through innovation and sustainable design solutions”.
All in all, Giusy’s enthusiasm to distribute and enable easy access to these new techniques and eco-friendly materials is
infectious. It is great to see someone promoting and providing information on how to reduce the ecological impact that
this huge industry has on our environment.
What are your criteria when it comes to selecting material producers and labelling them as sustainable?
When we talk about C.L.A.S.S. partners, products, collections, materials we talk about something that has to be able to
cover three dimensions, all at once: Creativity, Innovation and Responsibility. Creativity stands for style, a key element
when we talk about fashion! Innovation is important, because products need to perform correctly according to their
application, and quality because we need to keep up with contemporary consumer needs! Responsibility is a new key
value dedicated to the consumer… now quality has a new, more complete meaning! How to be sure about these values?
Creativity …is beauty. Innovation is proven through the presence of technical fact sheets for each fabric, and
responsibility is present thanks to specific certifications, differentiated by material choices; it can be GOTS (Global
Organic Textile Standard) for organic , GRS (Global Recycling Standard) for recycled, but more and more we are talking
about LCA (Life Cycle Assessment).
What inspires you most in your work?
My main inspiration are people. People who have been working hard in the textile industry for many years and are still
doing so with a lot of enthusiasm. Despite the complexity of the time, people that are just starting their journey into
fashion textiles, are so passionate, and have such a new innovative way to look and develop it. It makes me feel so good
to see that technology is linked to skilled people with unique abilities in the fields of creativity, innovation and quality,
that are INTEGRATING the new dimension of innovation – called responsibility – as a competitive advantage! People
at consumer level will finally have another interesting choice! It is a great feeling to be able to go from storytelling to
storymaker!
Integrating is an opportunity
From the numerous designers working with C.L.A.S.S. can you mention one design or designer that impressed
you the most and why?
It is very difficult to name any, because I have to say that everyone from small startups to the most well-known brands
and retailers are on their way to ‘integrate’ this new high value dimension of responsibility in their collection…. Off the
top of my head I can remember the interesting exercise done by Weekend Max Mara, who introduced Newlife ™ in their
S/S 2014, and are still running… or the latest launch of Gucci’s A/W 2015-2016 menswear, womenswear and
childrenswear collection of Re.Verso ™ cashmere! I am mentioning them, because they are living proof of the fact that
beauty, technology, quality, creativity and responsibility are not just a possibility but an opportunity!
What makes education on sustainable fashion a challenge these days?
I think today there is no real ‘challenge’, but for sure some things are still complex. I will mention the 2 ones that we are
working hard on at the moment: 1. Perception of sustainability in terms of value: There is still some work to do here. The
perception of ‘green’ is unhelpful due mainly to history, when sustainable should have been a single value , not linked to
aesthetic and innovation … 2. The way of communicating sustainable values: We do not think that you can create a value
just by communicating a generic material or technology (eg. recycled). We need to take GREAT care in creating a new
way to do fashion that includes responsibility, so that we can be able to create something completely new and innovative.
What is your favorite Textile to work with?
This is a difficult one, as each one of the C.L.A.S.S. selected materials have fantastic, unique stories and people behind
them… I would prefer to invite people to explore them!

TESSUTI ECOSOSTENIBILI E DI CLASS(E) PER UNA
MODA CHE GUARDA AL FUTURO
by ilpuntosalute | 10 lug, 2015 | Moda |
Immaginate abiti griffati dal design italiano, Armani, Versace, Max Mara, Valentino, realizzati con stoffe
provenienti dal carapace del granchio, dalle proteine del latte, dalla soia e dal legno… Molti ‘tessuti eco’ vengono
selezionati in uno showroom di Milano che si chiama C.L.A.S.S (Creativity Lifestyle and Sustainable Synergy) ed
è una realtà italiana ideata da Giusy Bettoni. Si tratta di un network internazionale multi-piattaforma che presenta a
designer, buyer, media e operatori del settore una vetrina di moda, e di materiali esclusivi e non convenzionali
fabbricati con tecnologie smart e sostenibili.
“C.L.A.S.S propone servizi di consulenza globali di comunicazione, marketing e sviluppo prodotto. È specializzata
in un nuovo modo di intendere il lusso per la moda e il tessile che offre soluzioni innovative e su misura – afferma
Giusy Bettoni –. I prodotti sono pensati per ridurre l’utilizzo di petrolio e promuovere, invece, risorse sostenibili e
rinnovabili”. Negli ultimi anni è aumentata la convinzione che le scelte sostenibili aggiungano valore ed esclusività
all’articolo moda, anziché toglierne. “Nell’immaginario comune, il binomio moda e sostenibilità è spesso sinonimo
di un prodotto privo di stile, estetica, emozione, e talvolta anche di qualità – osserva Giusy Bettoni, CEO di
C.L.A.S.S –. Negli ultimi anni fortunatamente si sono fatti molti passi avanti per sfatare questo mito”.
NATURALI E ORGANICI, RIGENERATI E RICICLATI, RINNOVABILI INNOVATIVI sono le categorie
di tessuti proposte da C.L.A.S.S. “I tessuti NATURALI E ORGANICI sono creati in lana, seta, cashmere, yak,
cotone, lino, canapa e ortica – precisa la Bettoni –. Si tratta di tessuti pregiati e realizzati soprattutto in Italia”. Le
stoffe RIGENERATE E RICICLATE sono rappresentate da poliestere riciclato (Newlife™), poliammide
riciclata, cashmere, cotone, denim, seta, lana di nuova generazione come Re.Verso™ e prodotti per ridurre il carbon
footprint. I tessuti RINNOVABILI INNOVATIVI sono ottenuti da nuovi biopolimeri (Ingeo™, di natura vegetale
compostabili), carta, proteine del latte, soia, alghe, cellulosiche rigenerate, fibre del legno, bambù,
Modal/Micromodal e fibra di carapace di granchio.
NEWLIFE™
La vera rivoluzione tessile è rappresentata da Newlife™.
“Newlife™ è il risultato di un progetto sviluppato da
Sinterama, un’azienda di Biella specializzata nella produzione
di fili e filati di poliestere colorati – riferisce la fondatrice di
C.L.A.S.S –. Una piattaforma tecnologicamente innovativa che
offre una vasta gamma di fili di poliestere riciclato d’alta
qualità. I filati sono prodotti attraverso il riciclo di bottiglie di
plastica raccolte nel Nord Italia”. Dopo le fasi di pulizia, taglio
e granulazione, le bottiglie recuperate vengono trasformate
attraverso un processo meccanico nel polimero Newlife™. “Si
sono svolti studi specifici (Life cycle Assesment, a cura dell’ICEA) sull’impatto di questa fibra sull’ambiente –
riferisce il CEO di C.L.A.S.S –. La realizzazione di Newlife™ consente il risparmio del 60% di energia, del 94%
di acqua e del 32% di CO2”. Il polimero consente una grande versatilità nella funzionalità e nelle applicazioni. È
inoltre easy care e easy wear. “Armani e Valentino l’hanno sperimentato per degli abiti esclusivi, realizzati
rispettivamente per la serata dei Golden Globes e della notte degli Oscar. Mentre Weekend, linea di Max Mara, l’ha
incluso nelle sue collezioni a partire dall’estate 2014. Questi solo alcuni prestigiosi brand della moda italiana che
utilizzano i tessuti con la fibra Newlife™ – dichiara Giusy Bettoni –. Gli stilisti italiani sono sempre più sensibili al
tema dell’ecosostenibilità”.
Re.VerSo™
C.L.A.S.S propone anche tessuti della collezione Re.VerSo™. “Re.VerSo™ è il marchio identificativo di una
catena d’approvvigionamento evoluta composta da Green Line, Nuova Fratelli Boretti che insieme a “trasformatori”
selezionati e esclusivi come A. Stelloni Collection by Mapel per i tessuti moda, Filatura C4 per filati per il contract
e Filpucci per filati da maglieria, danno vita a una collezione tessile di “re-engineered wool” che utilizza un nuovo
approccio produttivo completamente integrato, tracciabile, 100% Made in Italy – afferma Giusy Bettoni –. I prodotti
Re.VerSo™ sono innovativi ed esclusivi”. Le stoffe Re.VerSo™ si contraddistinguono per l’alto contenuto di
materiali nobili, lane, cashmere, camel, e per la continua ricerca e innovazione su filati, disegni, colori, trattamenti
speciali di finissaggio. Della collezione Re.VerSo™ fanno parte melton, tessuti a pelo, drap, loden, jersey, uniti,
mélange, fantasia e stampati, con finissaggi infeltriti, lavati, calandrati, in una vasta gamma di pesi, tutti
personalizzabili secondo le necessità dei clienti. Re.VerSo™ offre articoli sempre in linea con le più attuali tendenze
moda. Primo esempio di utilizzo di questa piattaforma è Gucci con un cachemire Re.verso ™ per le collezioni uomo
donna e bambino relative alla stagione a/i 2015 – 2016.
Bacx™ by Centro Seta
“Bacx™ by Centro Seta è la prima vera collezione di tessuti in seta di nuova generazione con composizioni
innovative. I risultati sono il frutto di ricerca, processi e soluzioni eco – riferisce il CEO di C.L.A.S.S –. Centro Seta
è un’azienda fiorentina che opera nell’ambito della produzione tessile, con forti connotazioni moda e creatività”.
Alla proposta di seta certificata GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) si aggiungono due linee sempre firmate
Bacx™ by Centro Seta.

Tessuti in mischie di seta GreenFiber™: sviluppati con un nuovo filato di seta derivato dal riutilizzo dei
cascami e firmato GreenFiber™. Tessuti con un’inedita mano naturale e con un look prezioso.

Tessuti in mischie di seta eco-high tech Newlife™: soluzioni innovative che integrano la raffinatezza e i
canoni della seta tradizionale con la praticità e la versatilità del filo di nuova generazione Newlife. Una proposta
sportiva per le esigenze di un consumatore più moderno.
Oggi, le aziende offrono bellezza, glamour, classe, strutture e qualità fisiche uniche a tessuti e a capi
d’abbigliamento. L’innovazione è la scelta responsabile, vincente e competitiva per proporre al mercato articoli
ecosostenibili e di qualità per una moda che guarda al futuro.

The New Ninetyfives Filpucci’s Innovative High-End, Low-Impact Yarns
By Staff / June 28, 2015
Florence, Italy - The Ninetyfive family of yarns expands in the name of sustainable-cashmere
knitwear. Now there are two sources of these “double life” yarns with an eco-friendly message. They
are among the finest yarns by Filpucci, a company which combines its textile research expertise with
a passion for exploring new sustainable alternatives.
Excellence in accordance with science and conscience: after CO2-free, now available in
Re.Verso™ re-engineered cashmere
Consequently, a different sustainability value is introduced to integrate the Woollen Selection’s
Ninetyfive collection with a product of equal ethical value. In addition to the low-impact, CO2-free
regenerated (postconsumer) cashmere yarn widely appreciated as a vehicle of high qualities, there is
now an exclusive reengineered (pre-consumer) cashmere yarn originating from sophisticated pure
textile material selectively and transparently screened by the Re.Verso™ supply chain.
Therefore, over and above the classic principle of post-industrial (CO2-free)reuse, this new
development in the Tuscan spinning company’s ethical advancement consists in adding an even rarer
and more virtuous step, i.e. reclaiming higher-quality pre-industrial surplus (re-engineered). This is
exclusive, semi-processed material restored to its original state and then reconverted via the finest
Italian textile know-how. This virtuous circle allows us to optimise and reuse even the finest material
and ease the pressing problem of disposal and the excessive consumption of the rarest fibres.
As a result, Ninetyfive yarns fall within the range of premium-quality, clean-soul products that are
doubly appealing to the high-end fashion market and the elite of responsible consumers. This was
made possible by an exclusive agreement with the Re.Verso™ textile platform focused on a
responsible approach to high-value resources. The uniqueness of the quality material selection and
gathering process is based on no-waste principles and a transparent, traceable chain.

Re.Verso™ & Filatura C4 at Techtextil 2015
By Staff / May 26, 2015
Pistoia, Italy - Re.Verso™ opens the door to reveal a more complete and varied supply chain option, as
well as a new product application through its latest selected partnership with the excellent Filatura C4 at
Techtextil in Frankfurt, 4th -7 th May 2015.
Thanks to a shared philosophy and dedication to sustainable manufacturing and business, both
companies have collaborated, with the support of C.L.A.S.S., to present a new dimension in eco-smart
re-engeneerd wool based yarns now especially targeted for the contract market. This clearly confirms
that the Re.Verso™ concept, after the successful introduction in the fashion market last September 2014,
is gaining real traction, step by step, leading the field with their unique system in eco-recuperated fibre
sciences and partnerships.
This joint venture began when Filatura C4 realized the unique added value the Re.Verso™ concept can
offer, neatly matching their own business profile and philosophy. Re.Verso™ collects sorts and
reprocesses pre-consumer textile waste in a new way that is accredited, fully transparent and fully
traceable at every stage. This means it completely matches a Filatura C4 creative dedication to be 100%
Made in Italy, while making the best quality recuperated yarns that perform without compromise, and can
replace virgin yarns use, saving on raw materials, costs and environmental impacts.
The first qualities to be developed will be in the Natural Collection from Filatura C4. This will use the
Re.Verso™ mechanically derived wools exclusively and start with blends of Re.Verso™ wool and
polyamide, specifically for the furnishings market, although future finer Re.Verso™ wool micron and yarn
counts will also focus on apparel . A second development stream will mix Re.Verso™ wool with highly
technical regenerated para-aramid fibers for extra flame and abrasion resistance, as well as creating a
vintage mélange optic in dyeing.

Filatura C4 lanza al mercado un hilado ecológico para el sector del contract
11/5/2015
Re.Verso y Filatura C4 han formado una joint venture, mediante la cual, han creado una nueva
dimensión en hilados de lana eco-inteligentes dirigida especialmente al mercado del contract.
Se trata de un nuevo paso dado por Re.Verso, después de que en septiembre de 2014 entrará en el mundo de la moda.
La joint venture entre ambas empresas nació cuando Filatura C4 se dio cuenta que la aplicación del concepto de Re.Verso
se adecuaba a su filosofía y modo de hacer negocio.
Re.Verso recoge todo tipo de residuos textiles de preconsumo y los vuelve a procesar. De este modo, Filatura C4 utiliza
este material reciclado en la elaboración de hilados, reduciendo en todo este proceso el impacto ambiental.
En esta contexto, la nueva colección de Filatura C4 derivada de esta joint venture está dirigida al mercado del mueble,
pero en un futuro, se creará una línea para la moda.
En otra etapa, se mezclará la lana Re.Verso con fibras muy técnicas, que sean resistentes a las llamas y a la abrasión.

Filatura C4 first collection from partnership with Re.Verso to be showcased at Techtextil
YarnsandFibers News Bureau, 2015-04-30 14:00:00 - FRANKFURT
FRANKFURT
Re.Verso is a new textile platform made of a group of three top Italian mills, Nuova Fratelli Boretti, Green Line and
Lanificio Stelloni has collaborated with Italian spinning company Filatura C4. The first collection from the partnership
will be showcased at Techtextil in Frankfurt next week.
The collection is combination of Re.Verso wool and polyamide blended with Filatura’s ‘100 percent made in Italy’
fabrics.
The Re.Verso supply chain platform incorporates pre-consumer waste yarns, mainly wool but not limited to it, is
converted into fiber through a mechanical process, and then spin into yarns from which knitted, woven and knitwear
fashion fabrics can be made, and then into finished garments in a fully traceable, transparent line of production that has
garnered recognition as a best-practice model for eco-responsible manufacture.
Re.Verso initially launched in September 2014, after sustainable textiles platform CLASS (Creativity Lifestyle and
Sustainable Synergy) teamed up with luxury fashion brand Gucci.
The joint venture began when Filatura C4 realised Re.Verso’s added value. While Filatura C4 can still boast its ‘made in
Italy’ tagline, Re.Verso yarns can replace the use of virgin yarns – saving on raw materials, costs and environmental
impacts, a statement from CLASS said.
Of the three companies involved in Re.Verso, Green Line is responsible for sourcing and sorting the pre-consumer waste
yarns and fabrics, Nuova Fratelli Boretti mechanically transforms the waste textiles into fibres ready for spinning, and
textile mill Lanificio Stelloni uses the materials to manufacture knitted and woven fabrics.
Filatura C4 established in 1962 in Pistoia, for three generations has been producing “Made in Italy “carded yarns,
combining the innovations of a young and dynamic Management team, with tradition, technical knowhow, and
experience.
Filatura C4’s natural collection are manufactured from a combination of natural fibers, with viscose, and in conjunction
with the so-called “green fibers”, which are ecological and environment friendly ones, like Soya and natural Bamboo.

Techtextil e Texprocess: l'innovazione tessile protagonista dal 4 al 7 maggio
Saranno 1.662 gli espositori, da 54 Paesi, presenti a Techtextil e Texprocess, saloni internazionali sui tessili tecnici, i non tessuti e le
tecnologie legate a questi settori, in programma a Francoforte dal 4 al 7 maggio.
L'innovazione è il filo conduttore delle manifestazioni (dove non a caso viene allestito un "Innovative Apparel Show"), che esplorano non
solo insieme alle aziende, ma anche ai centri studi e alle università, utilizzi anche insoliti dei tessuti, ad esempio per creare biomasse o
neve artificiale.
Ma il focus è soprattutto sulle ultime novità in fatto di wearable technology in tutte le sue declinazioni e di "smart textile". Significativi pure
i passi avanti che si sono fatti nei processi di taglio, cucito e stiratura, grazie alla digitalizzazione. Senza contare le prospettive aperte dal
tracking online, per consentire alle aziende della filiera di interagire tra loro e con il mercato in modo rigoroso e trasparente.
Secondo uno studio di Commerzbank, si prevede che le vendite globali di tessili tecnici e non tessuti cresceranno dagli attuali 160 miliardi
di dollari a oltre 200 miliardi entro il 2018. La confederazione europea Euratex aggiunge che nel 2014 l'import di tessili tecnici da nazioni
non-EU ha messo a segno un +8,6%, mentre le esportazioni sono aumentate del 6,3%.
In Germania il comparto ha seguito un doppio binario: segno più nelle vendite di non tessuti, segno meno per quanto riguarda i tessili
tecnici, a causa dell'euro debole e del prezzo basso del petrolio. Tuttavia, come tiene a precisare Elgar Straub (managing director di
Vdma-Verband Deutscher Maschinen- und Anlagenbau Garment and Leather Technology), «nel 2014 il fatturato del settore delle
tecnologie per l'abbigliamento e la confezione è cresciuto sul territorio tedesco del 20%, con la prospettiva di un ulteriore rialzo a doppia
cifra».
La buona salute del salone Techtextil è attestata dai numeri: le realtà partecipanti sono 1.389 da 52 Paesi, contro le 1.330 da 48 Paesi
del 2013. Anche per questo la kermesse può contare su un giorno in più rispetto al passato, oltre che su una superficie ampliata alla Hall
6.1.
Analogamente, Texprocess è in fase di costante sviluppo, con 273 exhibitor (erano 270 nel 2013, esclusa la sezione "Source It", ora
sostituita da un altro format) e con new entry del calibro di Epson Deutschland.
«Lo spazio prenotato per le due fiere - sottolinea Detlef Braun, membro dell'executive board di Messe Frankfurt - ha registrato un
incremento rispetto allo scorso appuntamento».
Entrambe le rassegne costruiscono intorno al momento espositivo propriamente detto una serie di eventi collaterali. Del programma fa
parte, tra gli altri, gli Innovation Award di Techtextil e Texprocess, la cui consegna è fissata il 4 maggio nella Hall 4.2 (nella foto, proposte
di Filatura C4).

pensati per il settore arredamento, fino ad arrivare a filati di lane Re.Verso ™ piщ fini e dai titoli piщ sottili
con un occhio specifico all’abbigliamento. La seconda parte dello sviluppo Filatura C4 mixerа i filati di lana
Re.Verso™ con fibre high tech para-aramidiche rigenerate, per una maggiore resistenza alla fiamma ed

FRANKFURT - Re.verso, a supply chain platform which incorporates pre-consumer waste
yarns into fabrics and clothing, has collaborated with Italian spinning company Filatura
C4. The first collection from the partnership - set to be showcased at Techtextil
in Frankfurt next week – sees Re.Verso wool and polyamide blended with Filatura’s ‘100
per cent made in Italy’ fabrics.
Re.Verso initially launched in September 2014, after sustainable textiles platform CLASS (Creativity Lifestyle and
Sustainable Synergy) teamed up with luxury fashion brand Gucci.
“The joint venture began when Filatura C4 realised Re.Verso’s added value. While Filatura C4 can still boast its ‘made
in Italy’ tagline, Re.Verso yarns can replace the use of virgin yarns – saving on raw materials, costs and environmental
impacts,” a statement from CLASS said.
Of the three companies involved in Re.Verso, Green Line is responsible for sourcing and sorting the pre-consumer waste
yarns and fabrics, Nuova Fratelli Boretti mechanically transforms the waste textiles into fibres ready for spinning, and
textile mill Lanificio Stelloni uses the materials to manufacture knitted and woven fabrics.
Filatura C4’s ‘Natural Collection’ of Re.Verso blended fabrics will be on show at Techtextil, Frankfurt on 4 – 7 May, at
booth H55, hall 3.1.

Techtextil 2015 Exhibitor Preview: Filatura C4/ReVerso™
PISTOIA, Italy — April 27, 2015 — ReVerso™ opens the door to reveal a more complete and varied supply chain
option, as well as a new product application through its latest selected partnership with the excellent Filatura C4 at
Techtextil in Frankfurt, May 4-7, 2015.
Thanks to a shared philosophy and dedication to sustainable manufacturing and business, both companies have
collaborated, with the support of C.L.A.S.S., to present a new dimension in eco-smart re-engeneerd wool based
yarns now especially targeted for the contract market. This clearly confirms that the ReVerSo™ concept, after the
successful introduction in the fashion market last September 2014, is gaining real traction, step by step, leading
the field with their unique system in eco-recuperated fibre sciences and partnerships.
You can visit Filatura C4 in Halle 3.1, booth H55 to fully appreciate the possibilities of this new collaboration.
This joint venture began when Filatura C4 realized the unique added value the Re.Verso™ concept can offer,
nearly matching their own business profile and philosophy. Re.Verso™ collects sorts and reprocesses preconsumer textile waste in a new way that is accredited, fully transparent and fully traceable at every stage. This
means it completely matches a Filatura C4 creative dedication to be 100% Made in Italy, while making the best
quality recuperated yarns that perform without compromise, and can replace virgin yarns use, saving on raw
materials, costs and environmental impacts.
The first qualities to be developed will be in the Natural Collection from Filatura C4. This will use the Re.Verso™
mechanically derived wools exclusively and start with blends of Re.Verso™ wool and polyamide, specifically for
the furnishings market, although future finer Re.Verso™ wool micron and yarn counts will also focus on apparel . A
second development stream will mix Re.Verso™ wool with highly technical regenerated para-aramid fibers for
extra flame and abrasion resistance, as well as creating a vintage mélange optic in dyeing.

Innovative Fabrics for Sustainable Fashion
Organic is now associated with more than food. Terms such as recycling, cruelty free and zero waste
are becoming progressively more common in the Fashion Industry. Eco-friendly fabrics and
materials, and innovative methods and techniques for recycling are what designers are increasingly
looking for. Today we are looking at two examples for Eco Fashion and the positive impact they have
on the environment. So…, let’s now see how fashion can be bought beautiful and sustainable. Please,
share any thought you have about this article.
H&M,Kering and Worn Again
Recently, the Swedish retailer H&M and Kering, in cooperation with the start-up Worn Again, have
launched the fibre-recycling technology project they have been working on. Their mission for
sustainable fashion is to satisfy the increasing demand for cotton and polyester and, amazingly,
they are doing this in an innovative and eco-friendly way. The technology, which is still at its early
stage, works by separating and extracting the materials from old textiles. Once this is done, the
polyester and the cotton cellulose are turned into new fabric. The process offers a much greener
approach for sourcing raw materials for fabrics and also, solves the problem of removing dyes from
the materials. Remarkably, recycled fashion is not only able to transform “trash” into clothing
treasures, but helps eliminating the throwing out of materials. “In the long run this can change the
way fashion is made and massively reduce the need for extracting virgin resources from our planet,”
said Anna Gedda, head of sustainability at H&M. H&M and Olivia Wilde, in the picture, are a great
example of how sustainable fashion can create beautiful designs.
Re.Verso
Re.Verso is a new green textile platform, a consequence of the collaboration between Green Line,
Nuova Fratelli Boretti and Lanificio Stelloni. Re.Verso is a dynamic approach to the production
of wool. The process is consisted of collecting textile pre-consumer waste fabric, which later on is
re-engineered into new material. The waste fabric is carefully examined by hand and transformed
back into fiber with the help of a machine. The material is collected mainly from Italy, where it goes
through different stages of processing, each one performed by one of the three companies. Re.Verso
is unique in regards to its eco-responsible techniques, which contribute to environmental and
energy savings. Importantly, the outcome is high quality woollen textiles which are as beautiful and
reliable as the ones that are brand new. Additionally, Re.Verso platform can be very easily adopted
by brands and retailers. In Fact, the world famous brand Gucci developed an integrated plan for the
creation of cashmere products for its AW15/16 men, women and children collections.

C.L.A.S.S. Tours SS16 Trends For Eco-Fabrics
Benjamin Fitzgerald, Mar 24, 2015
Milanese textiles agency C.L.A.S.S. wrapped up its world tour in New York this
month, bringing to the US fashion capital the eco-fabric innovations and trends for
SS16, following successful exhibits at Copenhagen, Madrid, London and Milan.
For two days, at the Italian Trade Commission offices in New York, a series of presentations
saw C.L.A.S.S. (Creativity Lifestyle And Sustainable Synergy) showcase an array of fashion,
textiles and materials created by firms using smarter sustainable technology.
C.L.A.S.S. divides itself up into five separate categories: naturals and organics (textiles made
from wool, silk cashmere, cotton, linen, hemp, vegetable tanned and dyed leather);
repurposed and recycled (re-used polyester, recycled polyamide, cashmere, cotton, denim
or wool); innovative renewables (cloth made from new biopolymers, paper, milk protein,
soy, seaweed, wood pulp fiber, bamboo, and crab’s carapace fiber); processes (natural and
metal free chemical dying, minimizing effluents, good water management systems and
chrome-free tanned leathers; and products (finished fashion garments, products for the
home, and eco-relevant lifestyle products).
According to C.L.A.S.S, SS16 fabrics will be characterized by two major themes:
Unconventional Mellow and Emotional Resonance.
Unconventional Mellow features chromatic and multi -colored patterns, and fabrics with
shiny effects, geometric prints, drawn lines, irregular jacquards and light embossing.
Meanwhile, Emotional Resonance boasts fabrics that blend comfort with intense, powdered
effects. Reliefs, circular knits, striped fabrics and denim looks are als o key.
Best on show included Italian brand Green Fiber, for the repurposed and recycled fabrics
section - offering yarns, fabrics and knitwear made from scraps up -cycled from waste left
behind during the spinning process. Its spring collection has been Eco label certified and
boasts wool, cashmere, mohair and silk thread sourced from Biella, Italy.
Re.Verso, a collection produced in the Prato region, featured re -produced wool and
cashmere yarn and full fabric cuts . In the same section, Bacx by Centro Seta used GOTScertified organic silk and silk blended with New Life - a type of recycled polyester made
from repurposed plastic bottles - for its jersey silk blends mixed with Greenfiber insulation
for outerwear.
Representing organic and nat ural material makers were Lanificio Zignone and its GOTS certified organic wool fabrics. Next to the Italians were Switzerland’s Hausammann & Moos
– maker of organic cotton knits and weaves that are also certified by GOTS and the Oeko Tex Standard; the certifications pinpointing both transparent and responsible production
methods in fabric.
Japan’s Shinnaigai Textile used fruits and leaves to form Tencel created from natural
materials such as plants and their flowers. The Asian firm also gave back its coll ection of
organic cotton to C.L.A.S.S. attendees.
Finallly, under the products category, E.Volution by Miroglio Textile offered responsiblysmarter certified printing methodologies engineered specific to customer’s needs and
budgets - and eco, of course.
Giusy Bettoni, chief executive officer and cofounder of C.L.A.S.S., opened her agency in
2007, feeling frustrated by the lack of sustainable fabrics being promoted on the market at
the time.
“Up to this point, generally speaking, the [sustainable fashion ] sector was quite poor and
uninspiring, with little appeal for designers. From [textile] producers and manufacturers, I
was seeing cutting edge innovation, backed up with in -depth research and the most
incredible and inspiring approach to sustainability. C.L.A.S.S. has all come from there
really."
Aware of the issue since 1993, Bettoni now works globally to connect individuals throughout
all elements of fabric production and sale, creating important links between weavers,
spinners, fashion brands, retaile rs, and consumers.
"We are now working to help develop and promote the most innovative sustainable fabrics
possible, and loving working with brands and designers to 'always surprise and delight',
showing designers the future and what's possible with expert know-how.”

C.L.A.S.S. Brings Sustainable Act to U.S.
CLASS completed its “World Class Tour” here this month with two days of presentations at
the Italian Trade Commission offices. CLASS, or Creativity Lifestyle and Sustainable

cofounder of Milan-based CLASS, said, “The objective is to provide a platform for

with companies and fabrics and yarns that add value by having some special quality that’s
good for the environment, but still have the highest degree of fashion be-cause without
that, the customers — whether it’s a brand, a retailer or a consumer — won’t be interested.
Bettoni said CLASS and the sector of sustainable materials have grown and evolved since
the organization was formed in 2007, thanks in large part to technological advancements,
such as machinery that can repurpose scrap yarns and fabrics. The tour included similar
presentations in Milan, Copenhagen, London and Madrid featuring the latest in sustainable

organic and natural material makers were Lanificio Zignone’s selection of GOTS-certified

wovens that are certified by GOTS and Oeko-Tex Standard, which signifies transparent and
responsible production methods. Also in this area was Japan’s Shinnaigai Textile, which
has a collection of organic cotton and Tencel in mélange dyes created from natural

biopolymers such as Ingeo, as well as milk protein, soy, sea-weed, regenerated cellulosics
and Crabyon’s crab’s carapace fi ber.“Step by step, sustainable materials are becoming part
of the supply chain,” Bettoni added.

Re.Verso™: From High-Tech, Re-Engineered Material to
Cutting-Edge Exclusive Fashion Collections
February 17, 2015 / No Comments
Milan, Italy - Re.Verso™ is a new textile platform, the result of a collaboration between three top
Italian mills, Nuova Fratelli Boretti, Green Line and Lanificio Stelloni, who together produce a fully
integrated, 100% ‘Made in Italy’, textile collection. This dynamic new approach to production is what
makes Re.Verso™ products unique in both look and feel, fully traceable throughout the supply chain
and, last but not least, 100% ‘Made in Italy’.
The Re.Verso™ program begins with the collection of pre-consumer textile waste, mainly, but not
only, wool based,, this is converted back into fibre using a mechanical process, then spun into yarns
from which knitted and woven fashion fabrics can be made. The fabrics are then made into finished
garments in a traceable, transparent line of production that has garnered recognition as a best-practice
model for eco-responsible manufacture.
Re.Verso-Wool-Fabrics
Re.Verso™ is a unique “smart” process for top-level designer fashion, a fact confirmed by the

Green Line – a company responsible for sourcing and sorting all the pre-consumer waste yarn and
fabrics from sources all over Italy and selected European countries.
Nuova Fratelli Boretti – a company that offers the excellence of handmade selection and mechanically
transforms a mixed pre-consumer textile material into a high quality, wool-centric fibre, base ready
for spinning.

C.L.A.S.S., la piattaforma di stile e network internazionale che promuove l’avanguardia tessile sostenibile per
le collezioni moda di domani, dà appuntamento a brand, designer e giornalisti delle capitali dello stile per
presentare le collezioni S/S 2016 di esclusivi eco-materiali certificati e selezionati. Dal 3 febbraio, in occasione
della seconda edizione del "World Class Tour", gli showroom di Milano, Madrid, Copenhagen, Londra e New
York accoglieranno su appuntamento professionisti, stilisti e aziende, anche per svelare le tendenze S/S
2016.
C.L.A.S.S.: 'Emotional Resonance' ed 'Unconventional Mellow'
Secondo i trend-watcher, C.L.A.S.S. la primavera-estate 2016 sarà caratterizzata da due tendenze dominanti:
'Unconventional Mellow' - Dinamismo cromatico e motivi multicolor. Un viaggio avventuroso alla ricerca di
nuove idee ed emozioni. Tessuti con effetti lucidi, stampe geometriche, grafismi, jacquard irregolari e leggere
goffrature, ed 'Emotional Resonance' - Sonorità tattile, l’essenza armoniosa di tessuti che mescolano praticità
e comfort con tonalità intense dall’aspetto polveroso.Tessuti in rilievo, tessuti a maglia, tessuti rigati e aspetti
denim.
Le aziende di eco-textile certificate che C.L.A.S.S. ha selezionato per il "World Class Tour SS 2016"
proporranno nuove collezioni per la moda che offrono un ricco assortimento di soluzioni esclusive che
incontrano ogni creazione di stile. I nuovi prodotti presentati negli showroom C.L.A.S.S. proporranno infatti
fili e filati ad alto tasso tecnologico intessuti di sete pregiate, cotone 100% bio, jersey e lane di altissima
qualità.
“Con il "World Class Tour" SS 2016 i protagonisti dello stile potranno scoprire in anteprima prodotti che
intessono le tendenze più esclusive, nuove tecnologie altamente performanti e un forte imprinting
sostenibile. Tre valori importanti ricercati non solo dagli addetti ai lavori, ma sempre più richiesti dagli stessi
consumatori finali e dal pubblico più esigente e consapevole”, commenta Giusi Bettoni, fondatrice e
presidente di C.L.A.S.S. “Il calendario internazionale del 2015 ci vedrà quindi impegnati in prima persona per
offrire una consulenza professionale a chi ha bisogno di orientarsi a partire da prodotti certificati e in linea
con le tendenze di domani”.

Class to Present New Sustainable Material Trends
Posted on February 3, 2015 by Shara Beitch
Class, a style and international network platform that endorses the latest sustainable fabrics for the
designer collections of tomorrow, will showcase its Spring/Summer 2016 collections on its World Class
Tour. The collections include exclusive eco-materials, certified and selected for their unique innovations.
The World Class Tour begins in Milan, from Feb. 3-5, and then moves to Madrid, Feb. 17-18;
Copenhagen, Feb. 23-24; London on Feb. 25; ending in New York, March 10-13. The showrooms will
welcome all designers and fashion companies by appointment.
Trend-watchers at Class Spring/Summer 2016 say it will be characterized by a contrast of strong emotions
and softer contradictions, similar to an emotional journey.
These trends are split into two key terminologies. The first trend, Unconventional Mellow, highlights
chromatic dynamism and multi-colored patterns. According to the company, it is an adventurous trip to
seek out new emotions and ideas, using fabrics with shiny effects, geometric prints, drawn lines, irregular
jacquards and light embossing. The second trend, Emotional Resonance, embodies “the harmonious
essence of fabrics that blend practicality and comfort with intense tonalities in powdered effects.” It uses
reliefs, circular knits, striped fabrics and denim looks.
“With the World Class Tour of S/S 2016 style leaders will be able to preview products that embody the
very latest trends; new, high-performing technologies; and the added quality that is their sustainability.
These three values are sought not only by those who work in the industry but also increasingly by the
final consumer and by a public that is aware and demanding.” Class founder and president Giusy Bettoni
said. “The international schedule of 2015 will see us working hard to offer professional advice to those
who wish to re-orientate themselves towards the future and use certified products that meet the fashion
trends of tomorrow.”
Class chose companies with eco-textile credentials for the S/S 2016 World Class Tour to present new
fashion collections that provide an array of exclusive solutions. The products presented in the showrooms
use yarns and fibers of the finest silk, 100 percent bio-cotton, knits and woolen fabrics.
Among the collections is Shinnaigai Textile Ltd., which presents a collection of yarns and fabrics in
organic cotton, Tencel and organic bamboo. For S/S 2016, the company is focusing on mélange effects
with natural dyes created from flowers, fruit and tea leaves.
Another collection, Fox Fibers, provides one of the widest ranges of fabrics available in 100 percent
organic cotton, with its S/S 2016 collections ranging from yarn to finished product, and include natural
dyed fabrics.
Italian company Euromaglia Srl specializes in refined textiles created from performing processes and the
workmanship of high-qualified professionals. The product quality is due to strict production control, from
the raw materials up to finished textiles. Its S/S 2016 collections use sustainable materials including wool,
organic and recycled cotton, milk fibers, recycled polyester and regenerate wool.
Other collections include Bacx by Centro Seta, Hausammann + Moos AG, Borgini Jersey, Gruppocinque,
E.Boselli, Lanificio Zignone, Re.Verso, Lanfranchi, lpeker, Green Fiber and ROIKA EF.

Re.Verso: Wool Waste Fibers Recycled Into
New Material
Posted by: Jessica Bucci in Fashion Fabric Sourcing January 10, 2015 0
If wool is on your shopping list for sustainable materials to source for your next collection, then you should
check out Re.Verso. This new textile platform puts a more eco-friendly spin on this already versatile fiber.
Using a 100% transparent method of production, pre-consumer waste fabric and fibers (mostly wool) are
collected and recycled into an entirely new material.
Produced in Italy, Re.Verso fabric is a multi-step collaboration between three mills: Green Line, Nuova Fratelli
Boretti and Lanifico Stelloni. The companies are working together to create a supply chain for fashion,
specializing in Italian-made, sustainable fabrics.
The raw material to be recycled is sourced from all over Italy, as well as a few other European countries,
courtesy of Green Line.
Once the waste fiber is collected, this raw material is prepped for spinning at Nuova Fratelli Boretti. These
fibers are blended with a high-quality wool base. Finally, it is made into yarns, knits, and woven fabrics at
Lanifico Stelloni.
The result is beautiful woolen textiles that are of the same quality as fabrics that are brand newbut with a much smaller carbon footprint.
In fact, if you’re a designer who wants to take recycling a step further, Re.Verso can help with that.
Brands and retailers interested in integrating this system into their business model can re-use their own textile
waste as a raw material. This has the potential to create a nearly no-waste cycle of sourcing for brands that
use it.
Want to see some credentials?
Re.Verso recently partnered with Gucci to collaborate on cashmere for the luxury brand’s AW 15 men’s,
women’s and children’s wear collections. We love seeing such high-profile design houses set a good example
by adopting sustainable practices. Perhaps it will inspire more labels to follow suit.
What do you think of the Re.Verso system? Would you be interested in incorporating it into your brand?
