Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the fashion industry
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The COVID-19 pandemic affects the global fashion industry as governments close down manufacturing plants, and through store closures, and event cancellations[1] to attempt to slow the spread of the virus. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a major impact on fashion brands worldwide.[2] At the same time, the fashion industry faces challenges in consumer demand.[3] New opportunities are also presenting themselves as fashion brands shift to making fashionable COVID-19 face masks.[4][5] Domenico de Sole, chairman of Tom Ford International, remarked that "I have seen a lot of difficult situations in my long career and this has been the most devastating event, not just for fashion and luxury, but all industries."[6]
