Fashion fever beats virus fear in Paris

Paris women’s fashion week is to go ahead in September, the organisers said on Wednesday.

The French Haute Couture and Fashion Federation said it will be held between September 28 and October 6 and “comply with the recommendations of the authorities” on containing the coronavirus.

Paris fashion week is by far the world’s biggest and most important.

The pandemic has turned the fashion calendar upside down, with Paris men’s and haute couture fashion shows next month being held online.
