We're approaching the thick of Fashion Month and, as the world continues to weather the pandemic, the viability of travel and in-person gatherings remains up in the air.
The state of the FW22 womenswear calendar, beginning in New York on February 11, is a mixed bag.
Big names including Telfar and Peter Do are expected to host physical events, but others — including Tom Ford and Thom Browne — have pushed their runway shows to a later date due to COVID-related production delays.
In London, highlights include Nensi Dojaka and Fashion East, along with British mainstays Simone Rocha and Richard Quinn. (Confusingly, fast fashion giant PrettyLittleThing will also hold a runway show in the British capital.)
Milan is largely sticking to an IRL format, as is Paris, which will host 45 IRL events — most notably, an Off-White™ show paying tribute to late founder Virgil Abloh. Other hot tickets include Dior, Loewe, Balenciaga, and Louis Vuitton.
Below, we've laid out this month's shows, which designers are (tentatively) sticking with a physical format, and which are going digital.
