Copenhagen Fashion Week will go on for Spring 2021
On Wednesday, France’s Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode announced that Paris Fashion Week will be moving forward for the Spring 2021 season. Now, organizers of Copenhagen Fashion Week reveal they, too, plan to put on a hybrid live/digital event this August, featuring presentations compliant with the Danish government’s guidelines from brands including Ganni, Stine Goya, Rodebjer, Marimekko and Rixo, which will be visiting from London. “We strongly believe in the importance of being able to meet face to face. Fashion week is inherently a physical event, which is why we [want] to gather industry professionals at our new hub and to create a fashion week that can help the industry to move ahead,” Cecilie Thorsmark, chief executive officer of Copenhagen Fashion Week, told WWD. {WWD} 

Is Facebook too big for fashion brands to boycott?
Eileen Fisher announced it’s joining brands like Patagonia, North Face and REI in the #StopHateforProfit campaign, which calls on brands to pull paid ads that would appear on Facebook Inc. products — which include the namesake website, Instagram and WhatsApp — for a month. However, as Alexandra Mondalek writes in Business of Fashion, could these platforms be too important for smaller, direct-to-consumer businesses to generate sales and market products — especially amid Covid-19-related slowdowns — for this kind of boycott to be effective? {Business of Fashion}
