From its inception in 2007, founder Giusy Bettoni presented an idea of a 3-dimensional approach to fashion, which harnessed creativity, innovation, and responsibility for product, processes, and communication. Based on this idea, Giusy and the C.L.A.S.S. team specialize in integrating a new generation of smart values into fashion, products, and businesses.
C.L.A.S.S. is a global resource for smart material innovation, education, marketing, and communication. They empower businesses and provide them with the guidance needed to be competitive and socially responsible while increasing the bottom line and upholding design integrity.
