Prada was the first to announce the postponement of its cruise show, set to take place in Tokyo on 21st May. Gucci has also held off plans for its San Francisco showcase, originally scheduled for 18th May. Now, Versace and Giorgio Armani have followed suit – the latter was due to open the schedule in Dubai on 19th April.
And, while Chanel’s repeat of its Paris 31 Rue Cambon 2019/20 Métiers d’Art collection in Beijing is no longer going ahead, its cruise show on the island of Capri is still – at present – expected to take place on 7 May. Similarly, it remains to be seen whether Dior will indeed head to Lecce, in southern Italy, where its creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri is originally from, on 9th May, or if Max Mara will hold its runway event on 25th May in Saint Petersburg.
