The president of the Italian National Fashion Chamber, Carlo Capasa, said the success of the womenswear calendar in September, with more than 40 live runway previews, indicated that “runway shows can be organized safely with social distancing and face masks.”
“We need to be very careful. The pandemic is still here,’’ Capasa said at a digital press conference.
Italy has seen the number of new coronavirus cases rising in recent weeks, but hospitalizations remain below critical thresholds.
The January 14-18 calendar also includes 24 in-person presentations, with just nine brands choosing to present digitally. London-based JW Anderson is among six brands that will be making their Milan runway debut.
