A Year of Disruption: 20 Designers on How 2020 Changed Fashion Forever

Now, ahead of a hopeful new year,spoke with 20 designers on how this tumultuous past 12 months altered their perspectives on fashion forever. Below, read how 2020 has fully changed the game for an industry still feeling its effects and how it might shape the year to come."I don't create the same way" –Christian Siriano

Like everyone else I have had my fair share of challenges this year. I am grateful that those challenges have not included any health issues. Despite these challenges, this year has also been cleansing and clarifying. The distance from my normal creative process has brought me back to my very first days of design. The time away from my studio gave me no other choice than to go back to basics and make things on a smaller scale with a more intimate group.

I've realized that you can't take the time that you have for granted. While developing SS21, we had so much more time to ruminate over every little detail for all of the garments that we created, and that isn't always the case. Give yourself the time that you need to articulate your vision as much as possible and create a final product that you're fully proud of. I'm learning more and more how to lean into my own points of view.

2020 reinforced something I've always believed about fashion, which is that it should be about community. It made me appreciate what a source of inspiration, courage and support the fashion community has been — for me, and for many. My creative process has evolved significantly — most importantly overcoming manufacturing restrictions from COVID. For one, I've been challenged to find new ways to create new products without my usual manufacturers. I created a pseudo dye house on the back porch of my Laurel Canyon studio where I have been able to be extremely experimental and adaptable. I love being so hands-on with the production of the collection, far more than I ever have been before.

My creative process is a lot more of a"fuck it" process. I think it went from me being like,"I need to drape this way, sew this way," to being like,"I made a full collection in lockdown with a hot glue gun." Bless this amazing intern Bella who moved in with me. We were sewing with our toes. The way of working just became so much more expressive and instinctual.

Ever gratefull to mybeautyfilledtribe
