Gabriela Hearst Fall 2020

PARIS, FRANCE — Today Monday (August 31), it was announced that ten labels have been added to the upcoming Paris fashion week, the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode, listing them as Ami (see it here), Cecilie Bahnsen, Enfants Riches Deprimés, Ester Manas, Gabriela Hearst (see it here), Mossi, Situationist, S.R Studio LA.CA, Vejas and Wales Bonner.

The spring 2021 collections are expected to be a mix of digital and physical shows in the French capital from Sept. 28 to Oct. 6, in conformance with requirements from local health authorities.

French officials recently tightened measures to slow the spread of the coronavirus as people return from summer vacation and head back to work and school, requiring the public to wear masks in offices and on the streets.

Earlier this summer, the federation canceled physical shows for couture and men’s fashion week, and set up an online platform for designers to showcase videos for their collections. 

Labels including Gucci, Saint Laurent and Michael Kors have indicated they will not take part in Milan, Paris or New York fashion weeks, respectively, while Burberry revealed it would stage an outdoor presentation on Sept. 17 and broadcast it online.

Three of the entrants on the Paris calendar are from the U.S.: Enfants Riches Deprimés, Gabriela Hearst and S.R Studio LA.CA.
