Paris Couture Week (PCW) this year is a virtual affair amid the COVID-19 pandemic. With the return of a show schedule, journalists, editors, buyers and bloggers will not be frantically running to next runaway as it’s one click away.
Starting July 6th, British couture house Ralph & Russo, as well as Lebanese couturier Georges Hobeika will present their Fall-Winter 20/21 collections in digital presentations on their respective platforms. Watch the Ralph & Russo digital couture collection at 7pm UAE time/6pm KSA time and the Georges Hobeika digital show at the label’s Instagram account.
From July 6th – 8th, Paris’s Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode (FHCM) is set to take the Paris Couture Week online for the first time in its history. According to the French fashion’s organizing body, the digital haute couture shows will take place on a dedicated platform, and “each house will be represented in the form of a creative film/video.” The digital platform will feature the official schedule according to which the videos will be released, which can also be viewed again once the initial broadcast has ended.
Kicking off the 3 day couture extravaganza with Schiaparelli, Paris Couture Week will feature presentations by Iris van Herpen, Christian Dior, Giambattista Valli, and Azzaro. The highly anticipated shows by Arab designers taking the digital stage are Lebanese couturiers Rabih Kayrouz and Georges Hobeika. Day two will see Virginie Viard debut her third couture collection for Chanel, while Lebanese designer Elie Saab will showcase his couture collection on the last day.
