In case you’v been living under a rock, you’d have noticed there is a global health pandemic going. Most countries went to lockdowns and only ‘essential” services were allowed to remain open. Fashion Week events was not of these. However, now that some countries have started to ease their lockdown restrictions, there may be some hope that some fashion week events will still go ahead. Let’s go through some of the major ones…

June ⬇️

It does return next year. In a statement, GFW said “a lot of incredible people put their heart and soul into Graduate Fashion Week 2020, to our Graduate Fashion Foundation family, thank you. We are deeply disappointed to have to cancel, but look forward to seeing you again soon and welcoming you back for our 30th Anniversary celebrations in 2021 and to showcase the largest exhibition of BA fashion talent in the world”

Paris Fashion Week – Mens -> CANCELLED.

In a statement by FHCM, they say “The spread of the Covid-19 epidemic, which is spreading throughout the world, calls for strong decisions to protect our homes, their employees and all those who work for our industry.
