About LFW digital platform

LFW digital platform was launched in June 2020 and aims to be a year-round event for designers and consumers to showcase and buy new collections. According to the company’s website, the platform will remain accessible to industry professionals and fashion consumers to foster a collaboration that would contribute to culture, fashion, and technology.

Due to the pandemic, there has been a lot of uncertainty around fashion shows. London Fashion Week is one of the only fashion shows to provide dates for its shows. The Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode and Milan’s fashion week will too open this month as physical fashion shows and digital presentations. It seems that fashion shows are finally going back to normal.
