Saint Laurent Bows Out of Fall's Paris Fashion Week, Will Take Control of Its Pace and Schedule

Saint Laurent announced that it will skip PFW (Paris Fashion Week) this fall and will not adhere to any fixed fashion calendar for the remained of 2020. In a sign of how the fashion industry will be changed in this global health pandemic, Saint Laurent says it “will take ownership of its calendar and launch its collections with a new perspective that is driven by creativity.

“Now more than ever, the brand will lead its own rhythm, legitimating the value of time and connecting with people globally by getting closer to them in their own space and lives.”

Will Fashion Week Continue?

There is no doubt that the entire of global fashion shows and how many collections a year are delivered — even which retailers will have survived to sell them — is all under discussion.
