Addressing the COVID-19 crisis, Elsa Fernandez-Santos share philosophical thoughts about the fashion industry as one that “has made permanent change its reason for being” is now facing its biggest challenge” as beyond the message to consume less, the industry itself must overnight develop new strategies for how to sell products both wholesale and retail, how to deal with the reality that massive amounts of garments are made in China.

Now that our lives have been turned totally inside out — do we really want to try to go back to our old habits in our environmentally-challenged planet?

Consumers with no money? These are the questions explored in the S Moda commentary. (This is obvious, but hit your translator in Chrome if you don’t read Spanish.)
