Footwear innovator headline speaker at Beast to Beauty

13/05/2010

The third annual 'Leather - From Beast to Beauty' conference will take place in London on June 3.

Organised by World Leather and independent training consultancy Leather Wise, Beast to Beauty 2010 will explore the ability of the industry to produce leather in a more sustainable manner. A high-level list of speakers will give presentations covering every step of the leather supply chain, from raw materials to luxury finished products.

The keynote speaker this year will be Galahad Clark, designer for the Terra Plana footwear label, who specialises in shoes made from vegetable-tanned and chrome-free leather.

The conference will take place at Saddlers Hall in Gutter Lane, close to St Paul's Cathedral in the City of London. It will be followed by a networking dinner at the Leathersellers Hall in nearby St Helen's Place.
