Hello Bellah Blog Readers!

There have been many things happening recently, especially with the COVID-19 pandemic that doesn’t seem to be leaving any time soon. First, I just want to acknowledge all those who have suffered due to this pandemic. Second, I want to recognize all the health care and medical professionals that are working hard to detain and eliminate the COVID-19 threat.

With this going on, it is no surprise that many fashion show and fashion events have been shutting down, cancelling, or rescheduling due to not knowing what the future holds at the moment. Many fashion houses are shut down as well because of social distancing, those that are still operating are trying to help in their own way by creating supplies (like masks and hospital gowns) that are lacking in hospitals and other medical facilities.

One of the biggest and most anticipated shows of the summer is the June Paris fashion, swimwear, and lingerie trade shows. Unfortunately, if you were looking forward to this show be disappointed because it has been cancelled due to COVID-19. Of course we completely understand why, there would be too many people, and with the rapid spread of this virus, no one is sure if it will be over by the time June rolls around. Good news is that those responsible for organizing this event are looking into rescheduling options.

“In the unprecedented global health crisis, three federations representing the apparel, lingerie and swimwear sectors are collectively announcing our decision to cancel or postpone the fashion and lingerie trade shows that were supposed to take place in Paris in June 2020.” –the Fédération Française du Prêt à Porter Féminin and the Fédération Française de l’Industrie de Vêtement Masculin and La Federation Maille, Lingerie et Balneaire

One of the options being considered is rescheduling the show for September just to insure that everyone attending or participating in the event would not be at risk or any type of medical danger. Of course, with this being said, Paris Fashion Week that was to be held in June and July is also cancelled. These aren’t the only fashion events of this nature that are cancelled, global fashion shows are also considering cancelling or rescheduling. As we receive more information on the progress of stopping this pandemic and anything fashion related, we will make sure that here at Bellah’s World we keep you, the public, updated.
