But in a makeover caused by the coronavirus crisis, top designers will instead be experimenting next week with online showcases to try to keep clients hooked.

Paris’s multiple fashion weeks generate some 1.2 billion euros for the local economy every year, the federation grouping couture houses estimates.“I will miss the audience, I will miss my friends,” said couturier Stephane Rolland.

“I was a little hesitant at first, wondering what we’d be able to say in a digital fashion week,” Josse said.
