For every industry, the year 2020 was one of the most difficult in history. The fashion industry was also severely impacted, with decreased sales, altered client behaviour, and disrupted supply chains all around the world. This article examines the numerous changes wrought by the pandemic, which may or may not persist in the future.
In the year 2020, the globe faced a major crisis in the shape of the COVID-19 epidemic, with industries experiencing their worst year ever. Almost every industry is still in a state of flux, with revenues and margins being squeezed [1]. Demand for clothes has been slashed as a result of unbalanced economic activities [2]. According to the McKinsey Global Fashion Index, there will be two types of recovery in 2020: "Earlier Recovery," in which global fashion sales would decrease by 0-5 percent in 2021 compared to 2019, and "Further Recovery," in which the industry will return to the same levels of activity as in 2019. The second is "Later Recovery," which predicts a 10% to 15% drop in sales over the next year.The second is "Later Comeback," which predicts that fashion sales will drop by 10 to 15% in the coming year compared to 2019, with a recovery in the fourth quarter of 2023. The pandemic raised demand for digital access to everything, allowing firms to innovate, become more efficient, and expand in new ways. It has also placed a strong emphasis on the need to transition to more sustainable and responsible working practises. People will continue to be wary of mass gathering, thus digital means will be the primary driver of growth in the future years. Consumer demand and working methods are projected to undergo significant and long-term changes, according to industry players. Brands will have to adapt among the probable short-term obstacles.The pandemic raised demand for digital access to everything, allowing firms to innovate, become more efficient, and expand in new ways.

Among the probable short-term obstacles, businesses will have to shift their focus to casualwear, and luxury will continue to be under pressure, as well as shorter production cycles and cash constraints, which will cause investments to stagnate.

Work from home, at-home workouts, and meditation have all boosted demand for already popular categories. Furthermore, people have become more committed to an active lifestyle in recent months, resulting in a high demand for sportswear, loungewear, and other such items. [3] One out of every four #covid-19 postings, according to Heuritech's Instagram study, is about living a healthy lifestyle. In fact, sportswear is experiencing a surge in popularity among consumers. [4] Leggings and bicycle shorts are popular because they are the star items throughout this incarceration period. Consumers are focusing more on sports activities, meditation, yoga, or simply sitting about, thus loungewear such as track trousers and sweatshirts are on the rise, and they look to be the biggest fashion trend at the time.

 Harris Reed, a 25-year-old British-American designer who graduated from Central Saint Martins in 2020, is one of the most fascinating names in fashion right now. Architectural suits, pussy-bow blouses, and tiered dresses are among his designs, which have been worn by Harry Styles, Sam Smith, Iman, and Emma Corrin. They've struck a chord with an audience eager to blur fashion's binary by being purWhile Reed's designs push the boundaries of what we consider "masculine" and "feminine," as well as encourage more daring attire, the concept isn't new. The fact that menswear has always experimented with gendered rules is a core focus of a new exhibition at the V&A called Fashioning Masculinities. The Art of Menswear debuts this month, focusing on male apparel from the museum's extensive collection. It opens with a sculptural piece by London-based designer Craig Green and features a new generation of designers like Edward Crutchley and Grace Wales B...

 It is the year 2045. You're wearing a pair of glasses that share info on the people, places, and things around you as you walk around Manhattan (if it's still above water). You happen to run into a friend. "Fire outfit!" you exclaim, referring to your friend's flaming clothing. And, despite the fact that their Balenciaga couture cloak is on fire, they appear unconcerned. When you take off those goggles, you'll notice that your pal is dressed in nothing more than a T-shirt and trousers. This is one conceivable picture of the metaverse, the vague new digital frontier that Silicon Valley can't seem to get enough of—and one the fashion world appears to be equally enamoured with. Every fashion label seems to want to (literally) infiltrate the sector, from Balenciaga to the funny upcoming British upstart Stefan Cooke. Furthermore, Silicon Valley has been eager to embrace fashion as a cornerstone of its glitzy new development: much was made of Mark Zuckerberg...

The EU aims that by 2030, textile goods will be durable and recyclable, devoid of dangerous ingredients, and manufactured with regard for people and the environment. Fast fashion will be obsolete, repair and reuse will take the place of disposability, and producers will be held accountable for the products they create long after they have been sold. Clothes will no longer be destroyed or burnt, and landfills will be free of useable garments mistakenly classified as rubbish by consumers. Is new legislation on the way to making this a reality? Last week, the EU unveiled a package of ideas aimed at transforming the fashion industry and bringing it in line with sustainable practises. The strategy follows the supply chain from design to production through end-of-life, drawing on existing initiatives and frameworks and flagging a number of areas that need to be looked into further. The EU's efforts are al...
