WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO FASHION IN TIMES OF PANDEMIC?

From Utopia to The Reality Forced                                                      We can certainly say that the world changed from night to morning, is no longer a utopia, but a reality, the pandemic changed our lives!๐Ÿ˜Ÿ

The pandemic is dragging us to a radical change, we are seeing that many of us no longer have, or will have the available resources income as in the past, so you are going to be forced to change your trends with respect to fashion, or at least buy less, or what you need, and of course, I can assure you,  that you will not be the only one, (I am also making changes). ๐Ÿ˜•   

                                                    

You will be forced to be more creative with all the things that you already have in your closet / wardrobe, you will have to use your wits to give priority to other needs; and Yes... of course you should be proud of that...Yes!!! It is precisely what you are thinking (bad weather, good face; as my mother used to say). ๐Ÿ˜ฅ

Spring/Summer is Just Around the Corner                Primavera/Verano fashion, is just around the corner, it will be quite youthful, relaxed, (fashion language.)

The fashion of this season will be very relaxed, as in the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, a combination in which fashion was individual, personal, let's say why not... without an order dictated by the "industry of European fashion ”  

What will Happen to the Pandemic and the Closure of Businesses?                                   To prevent more infections from happening, many governments around the globe have decreed mandatory isolation period. Stay at home. Don't go out. Therefore, it is very likely, almost imminent, that the arrival of the pandemic will force luxury brands and companies in the fashion industry worldwide to temporarily close or disappear altogether.

The Fashion Economy is not Exempt from Pandemic Effects                                               We are already seeing a vast majority of many luxury brands with numerous global store closings; the collapse in the stock prices, fashion shows canceled, postponed events, cancellation of their orders for items that they will not be able to sell, while stores remain closed, extraordinary cancellations of orders to textile manufacturers such as Bangladesh, after China, the second largest producer of textile articles worldwide of clothing, footwear, pants, shirts, scarves, caps, sneakers, etc. etc. a long etc.

The Pandemic vs. The Fashion Industry: collapsing like a “castle of playing cards”                                                                                                                               In Cambodia, more than 91 factories garments have stopped work or have closed due to the corona virus crisis, and will continue to close in which large brands send them to produce their items, as to mention some H&M, Adidas, Puma and Levi Strauss. And many, many more than these, a huge list. Bewilderment, when they can not see anything near a positive outlook. :-( ๐Ÿ˜’

This situation is chaotic, it is like the collapse of the construction of a house of cards; one card falls out, and therefore they all fall down.

What will Happen to the Large Conglomerates and Brand Companies in the Textile World? What most consumers do not know, is that in the fashion business there are large conglomerates of brands that belong to the same owner, group of shareholders, or big brands that belong to the same companies.

It is like a chain, and what is most striking is that the vast majority of the owners of these businesses are men. It is three times higher than women.

Did you Know that Topshop, Bottega Veneta, and Alexander McQueen belong to one company? Corporations. In case you don't know, many fashion brands belong to large corporations, such as Inditex by Amancio Ortega, which includes Zara, Zara Home, Massimo Dutti, Pull & Bear, Bershka, Oysho, Uterqรผe, Lefties and Stradivarius. There are 14 large companies or brands that encompass almost the entire textile world. ๐Ÿ˜ฎ  

 A multinational or international company is one that was created and registered in one country, but has subsidiaries in different countries of the world, and even creates job offers in those places, most of the profits return to the country of origin of the company multinational.

Well, there I leave you the task, there is a lot of information on the internet, it is good to know, the good and the bad, how and where the clothes you buy come from. ๐Ÿ˜‘

It has been reported that more than 70% of European and American consumers expect not to consume as much in luxury fashion brands, and especially branded accessories. The future for the big brand fashion industry is uncertain and what is perceived is devastating.

The most disastrous of all, are the thousands and thousands of people around the world who will be left without work, and consequently families, children and the elderly adrift both in food and economics.

Despite all this negative scenario, this could favor the local fashion industry in the many consuming countries, representing a possible return to the art of sewing, such as dressmakers, tailors, darning machines, thus strengthening the local fashion industry.

But, as you always think positive everything can be fixed, think that this economic crisis will pass, but this cannot make you sad, because by becoming sad you will not solve anything, you will stress and this will hurt you, so get down to work and let's move on to our initial topic.

How Do you Think the Fashion of 
Spring/Summer 2022 will be?

Well, let's stop being worried, restless, sad, and therefore what do you think if this weekend you go to your closet and start separating all those clothes from past years, starting with all the dresses, skirts, blouses, jackets with prints, animals , flowers, since th is season they will continue to be valid.

Trench-style coat, GabardineTrench-style coat, Gabardine, or as they call it, in Argentina “Sobretodo” was designed to protect from wind and rain. By the way, I commented to you it was one of the pieces that I had to make to receive the title of seamstress - fashion designer, I made one for my son in a military green waterproof fabric., or as they call it, in Argentina “Sobretodo” was designed to protect from wind and rain. ๐Ÿ˜œ

   The trench coat will be the favorite garment for autumn 2022. The trench is a very versatile garment that you can use with all kinds of clothes, with jeans or dress pants, also with a dress or skirt, sneakers, boots, ankle boots or borcegos, stilettos.  
    
The trench coat looks just as elegant unbuttoned, with the belt tied at the back, include it in your wardrobe, I suggest you in the beige color range, which goes with all colors, from the lightest to the almost dark. 

It is one of the classic pieces that continues to be part of the wardrobe, since Burberry invented it to cover the British officers from the rain in 1901, its use became popular after the First World War. A wonderful elegance to use on those days that are not so cold. It will never go out of style.

"Denim" Another trend of the Summer season 2022                   Another look that you can get out of your closet is to separate everything all you have denim: pencil skirts, jeans, pants, jackets, shirts, blouses, coats.

The absolute look of "denim" is a trend this summer, it gives a fresh air and it is also another article that never goes out of style.

Another item that you most likely have at the bottom of your closet are those black pants, which you were about to throw away many times, but there... they are, you are lucky! Wide pants will be super fashionable, it is likely that you will continue looking and find some in your closet, rejoice because it is the novelty of this season, with white sneakers, boots, etc.

You will definitely ... look bright! The white sneakers of any brand, super fashionable, relaxed fashion !!! (you do not need to have them from famous brands) for now on....

Well, are you tired of searching your closet so much?  

Well girl! Keep poking through that closet for something from the 90s that you are sure to find to include in your wardrobe for the Spring/Summer 2022 season.
Now, look for what you have with large paintings, small paintings, very small ones, everything that is plaid designs ??? !!!! Jackets, pashminas, hats, headpiece,  caps of all styles. ๐Ÿ˜Œ

Did you see how many clothes you gathered for your Summer 2022?
It just takes time, imagination, and a good mood! A lumberjack shirt? A jacket from the nineties? Or maybe a pashmina? Something with squares, stripes that you must have in your closet! No matter what it is, include it in your closet...Excellent!!!  ๐Ÿ‘Œ
   
Vests of all kinds of material are in fashion.

Ah! wait a bit, I was forgetting the vests, I'm almost sure that if you keep digging in your closet / wardrobe, You will find the vests, come on, keep looking because the vests are back!!! ... to be fashionable in 2022, it cannot be missing for those cool days at night, since the vest of any material will be the perfect complement to your outfit. 

Yarn knitted vests, with sequins for those a little windy nights, whatever material you have, you will be fashionable in the Spring/Summer season.

For the southern area, in winter the range of golden colors will prevail, wool materials, leather, or sequined fabrics, leather-effect garments, maxi belts and maxi buckles... wide oversized shoulder pads, many rings to complete your glamorous look style.

So keep sifting through your closet to take out everything you've had in storage for years, all your treasures from the past to use as if you were using them for the first time, and the memories of the happy moments when you wore them.

Accessories
