Impact on Fashion<\/strong><br \/>\nThe COVID-19 virus has sent shockwaves through every industry and fashion has not been exempt from the social and financial paralysis. While China has been able to slow down the amount of new daily cases to single digits (the lowest number since nationwide reporting began in January), the US and Europe has crept to a halt as travel bans have been issued, communities have been urged to isolate or work from home, major sports and entertainment events have been suspended, and the growing list of schools and universities shutting down. Even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/03\/12\/business\/disneyland-coronavirus.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Disney World<\/a> is closing! With all those logistical updates, fashion has in turn responded by postponing imminent fashion weeks in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessoffashion.com\/articles\/news-analysis\/tokyo-fashion-week-cancelled-amid-coronavirus-fears\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Tokyo<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B9eztqnnswA\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Lagos<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/wwd.com\/fashion-news\/fashion-scoops\/sao-paulo-fashion-week-canceled-1203538500\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sao Paulo<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessoffashion.com\/articles\/news-analysis\/seoul-fashion-week-cancelled-due-to-coronavirus-spread\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Seoul<\/a>. New York state has banned gatherings with more than 500 people and while the Metropolitan Museum of Art has temporarily closed all its locations, for now, the Costume Institute Gala on May 4th <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teenvogue.com\/story\/met-gala-2020-coronavirus\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">remains on<\/a> even as the museum takes it day by day. With Italy&#8217;s country-wide lockdown, Gucci has closed all of its Italian production sites until the <a href=\"https:\/\/wwd.com\/business-news\/human-resources\/gucci-closes-italy-production-sites-march-coronavirus-1203537766\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">end of the month<\/a>.

After the deadliest garment industry disaster in history at Rana Plaza factory killed more than 1,100 Bangladeshi workers, a group of luxury houses including Kering, LVMH, Burberry and Mulberry signed the <a href=\"https:\/\/int.nyt.com\/data\/documenthelper\/6802-utthan-pact-framework-2016\/9b9f6b91c036b083e792\/optimized\/full.pdf#page=1\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Utthan pact<\/a> to ensure factory safety in Mumbai and elevate Indian embroiderers. Yet, as the pact is not legally-bounding, conditions have worsened for workers that protest wage issues and subsequently face termination or intimidation. Kering <a href=\"https:\/\/wwd.com\/business-news\/human-resources\/kering-to-open-hand-embroidery-center-in-india-1203535314\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">has announced plans<\/a> to open its own workshop in India to internalize \u201ca significant part of the hand embroidery work\u201d for its brands like Gucci, Saint Laurent, and Balenciaga.
