Paris Fashion Week Will Be Taking Place This Fall
Despite previous concerns surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic.
Paris Fashion Week will be going ahead as planned this fall, Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode confirmed this morning. The dates will showcase the Spring/Summer 2021 collections for womenswear, and will run from September 28 through October 6.
Following the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the menswear fashion weeks taking place throughout June were forced to go digital, and many brands including Saint Laurent, have made the decision to leave the Paris Fashion Week schedule since. Couture Week also made the decision to go digital in July earlier this year.
According to the announcement, the events will follow the necessary safety precautions set out by public authorities. It remains to see what the changes to PFW will hold, and whether we will see all labels take place in the events, as well if editors, buyers and more will be able to travel. Read the full statement below:
“The Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode confirms the holding of Womenswear Paris Fashion Week®. It will take place from Monday, September 28th to Tuesday, October 6th and will comply for its implementation to the recommendations of public authorities. Its organization will be completed by the platform set up for Paris FashionWeek® online.”
