Galy has joined The Fashion for Good Museum’s latest hybrid exhibition ‘Grow’ that focuses on biomaterials and cutting-edge brands and innovations that are shaping the sustainable future of fashion.

The exhibition showcases revolutionary biomaterials launched by trailblazing disruptors like Galy. Galy engineers cotton in labs through the multiplication of cells directly into the cotton fibre, removing steps of traditional cotton farming. As a result, they can grow cotton without the use of pesticides or fertilisers, using considerably less water.

Besides seeing the materials up close - either by in-person appointment or virtually - visitors can learn about the fast-growing movement of biomaterials in fashion, which companies from high street retailers to storied luxury houses have been keen to get in on in recent years. This includes information about what exactly biomaterials are, why they’re so important, how sustainable they are, and what makes them different from traditional fibres like cotton. The exhibition runs until October.
