Physical shows make cautious comeback

This is the latest fashion week to provide information about its upcoming show in the past few weeks. The Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode announced recently that Paris Men's Fashion Week and Haute Couture Fashion Week, which will take place in June and July, respectively, will both feature physical shows and presentations, depending on the development of the Covid situations.

Similarly, Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana said Milan Men’s Fashion Week will include physical shows in June. The organisers of Copenhagen Fashion Week, too, revealed the show will return as a physical event this summer for the SS22 season, along with trade fairs Revolver and CIFF. June’s London Fashion Week, sponsored by payments service Clearpay, will take place after the inaugural Institute of Positive Fashion Forum (IPF Forum) on June 10, a day-long event hosted by BFC focusing on sustainability and other key issues across the fashion value chain.

BFC said this London Fashion Week will emphasise the three IPF pillars: environment, people and community, and craftsmanship.
