We are kicking off with a week in Paris like no other…
After a long hiatus due to the coronavirus pandemic, Paris starting 2023 with a bang with Men’s Fashion Week with the return of in-person runway shows featuring big names like Saint Laurent to Maison Margiela. But Covid-related curbs will deprive the series of some of its usual international flavor as it rolls out this week.
The pandemic overshadowed the last two fashion years, 2021 and 2022, as both were dominated by virtual runway shows. Steven Kolb, chief executive of the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA), says he sees room for both digital and in-person shows.
But "there is a real optimism and energy and enthusiasm about returning to live shows," he added.
“There is, of course, nothing you can compare to a live show.”
