Ending the controversy over what happened to Paris Fashion Week, French fashion regulatory body says this month’s men’s and haute couture shows will free audiences from fear of coronavirus
PARIS – Ending the controversy over what happened to Paris Fashion Week, French fashion regulatory body has said this month’s Paris men’s and haute couture shows will free audiences from fear of coronavirus.
The Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode has told luxury homes that they cannot invite guests this season, following instructions from the police.
In a statement to the AP, the alliance said on Monday that “we confirm that public gatherings cannot take place” at Paris Fashion Week, saying that “houses can still host ‘real’ runway displays with models on the live broadcast, as long as their events take place behind closed doors. ”
While Paris is not technically in locking, strict restrictions restrict movements across the country, including a 6pm or 8pm curfew. Following the rules again can result in a six-month prison sentence.
The second lockout in France ended on December 15, but restaurants, bars, cinemas, theaters and museums remain closed.
