The Swedish fashion industry is pushing for a digital and sustainable future. Briefly paused last year and back onto the fashion week calendar in 2020, Stockholm Fashion Week held its first online show at the end of August, just days before the official fashion month kicked off. This time, the completely digital event put sustainability and digital innovation at the forefront to respond to the new market narrative and to showcase ideas and designs in the notion of a ‘new normal’ tackling circularity, and diversity, digitization, and climate action. Catarina Midby shares her insights on Stockholm Fashion Week, and how it has adapted to the current climate.
In this episode of #FashionTalks with Catarina Midby, Secretary-General at the Swedish Fashion Association, we will answer the following:
- What are the key challenges the Swedish fashion industry is facing today?
- What is the role of Stockholm Fashion Week, locally and globally?
- How do designers engage an audience and evoke emotion while not physically present?
- How are shows evolving outside of the traditional fashion seasons?
- What does the future of fashion week look like and what are the challenges ahead?
