Organisers say they expect attendance"to be significantly reduced" due to the travel restrictions imposed as a result of the outbreak and added they will be carrying out"deep cleans" every evening at the event's central London hub.
Organisers of the British Fashion Council said they expected attendance "to be significantly reduced" due to the travel restrictions imposed as a result of the outbreak. The vast majority have been in China, the source of the outbreak, but it has also spread to countries around the world, including Britain where nine cases have been identified.
With climate change concerns paramount, an increasing number of designers are choosing to use renewable materials and support local crafts. They include a "switch to blue" campaign to bring the fashion industry together "to lead in ambitious environmental action", as well as a collaboration with designer Richard Malone for a reusable canvas bag.
