Saint Laurent YSL, "Start All Over Again", Announced The Withdrawal Of Paris Fashion Week In September This Year.

On Monday, the luxury brand Saint Laurent (also known as YSL, Saint Laurent) of the French luxury goods group Kering (Kai Yun group) announced that it would no longer participate in any fashion week in 2020, including Paris men's wear week, Paris high fashion week and Paris women's wear week. Instead, it planned to start a new business and organize a show on its own schedule, but did not disclose specific plans.

Saint Laurent's creative director Anthony Vaccarello said through social media Instagram, "taking into account the current situation and changes, Saint Laurent decided to break the pace of the past, re-establish the pace of development in line with their own rhythm. The current Saint Laurent will pay more attention to the relationship with people, especially people's daily life. Therefore, Saint Laurent will not release new products according to the scheduled 2020 schedule. But the brand will be driven by creativity, and create a new product release schedule and a better release plan.

At the end of last month, influenced by the new crown epidemic, the French custom and Fashion Federation announced the cancellation of the Paris fashion week from June 23, 2020 to June 28th, and the Paris fashion week, which was held from July 5, 2020 to July 9th. In September, Paris fashion week will also host the show of men's wear and women's wear.

The news of Saint Laurent's withdrawal from Paris fashion week immediately aroused heated debate. Because Francesca Bellettini, chief executive officer of Saint Laurent, is the president of the ladies' Fashion Department of the French fashion and Fashion Federation. So many people think that the withdrawal of Saint Laurent from Paris fashion week will lead other brands to follow their own initiative. At present, the French custom and Fashion Federation has not yet commented on the matter.

Some analysts believe that in addition to the brand's own consideration, Saint Laurent may also be due to uncertainty in the future of Paris.

France has been in a state of blockade since March 17th. Not long ago, French President Mucklow announced that the blockade deadline would be extended to May 11th. After that, France will gradually relax restrictions and schools will reopen, but restaurants, cafes, hotels, cinemas and other leisure establishments will remain temporarily closed.
