Gary Smith, CEO of The LYCRA Company, is a featured speaker at the Global Fashion Summit: Copenhagen Edition 2025, taking place from June 3-5 at the DR Concert Hall in Copenhagen. The summit focuses on sustainability within the fashion industry, exploring how challenges can drive creative and sustainable growth.
Smith's presentation highlights LYCRA's sustainable fiber solutions. Jon Veldhouse, CEO of Qore, will join him to discuss QIRA, a key component in LYCRA's bio-derived fiber. Their session, "From Farm to Fashion," is scheduled for Wednesday, June 4, at 3:35 CEST and moderated by Amy Nguyen.
The bio-derived LYCRA EcoMade fiber, expected to launch later in 2025, marks a significant advancement in sustainable materials. Made with 70% renewable content, it can potentially reduce the carbon footprint of LYCRA fiber by up to 44%. The summit provides a platform for discussing these innovations and their impact. The Global Fashion Summit: Copenhagen Edition 2025 will be held from June 3-5, 2025, with pre-Summit activities on June 3, followed by the main Summit events on June 4-5.
