01 Even before Covid-19 came along and turned the world upside down, the fashion industry had, for several years, already experienced shifts that often ended up in a return to the status quo. For instance, a few years ago, much hype was made about see-now-buy-now fashion shows, which would allow consumers to procure pieces shortly after seeing them on the runway, instead of six months later. after giving that a go, designers such as Tom Ford soon abandoned the concept, citing issues with supply and manufacturing.
Now, with global restrictions on travel and large gatherings remaining in place, the industry is in flux again as major labels suddenly find themselves unable to stage their usual live extravaganzas. the mid-year men’s spring/summer 2021 fashion shows have gone digital, with London spearheading the move online last month with a gender-merged, three-day event. Dominated by smaller labels like Marques Almeida and Christopher Raeburn, and heavy on issues such as sustainability, it felt relevant to the times. this month, Paris and Milan will host their virtual fashion weeks.
