The first-ever online Paris fashion week kicks off Monday with the world of glitzy runway shows thrown into an existential crisis by the coronavirus.

Paris haute couture and men's fashion weeks have been rolled into one, with labels making films to showcase their clothes instead of staging sometimes extravagant shows.

Some even say that seasons -- the frame on which the whole fashion calendar has been anchored -- should be swept away altogether. Fellow Belgian Dries Van Noten -- the revered "King of Prints" -- is also heading up one of two broad-based coalitions calling for root-and-branch reform to simplify the industry and make it "more environmentally and socially sustainable".There is so much rebellion in the air that the venerable French brand Hermes jumped the gun on the men's shows -- which do not start until Thursday -- by releasing its film on Sunday.

Stripes are Hermes' big thing for men next spring and summer, as well as its traditional leather of course."I am always looking to renew things and even if change panics me as much as it stimulates me, I prefer that anxiety to doing the same thing over again."Dior has called in the heavy artillery for its haute couture show, which is likely to be Monday's highlight.
