The effect of the COVID-19 to be felt by global fashion industry till mid-2021

Though Coronavirus (COVID-19) has led to some designers cancelling Milan Fashion Week shows, the fashion industry is yet to feel the full brunt of the repercussions of the global pandemic. So far, the outbreak has led to cancellation of some presentations in Paris. It has also resulted in an increase in the sale of face masks including ones being custom-designed for the fall ’20 Chanel show.

American fashion editors have been advised to self-quarantine for two weeks. Most local fashion houses in New York have declared a work-from-home policy for employees. They are either cancelling or postponing their shoots, press previews, dinners, and work-related travels.
