ABC6 - Fashion Week Columbus offers more viewing options, virtual events for 2020
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WSYX/WTTE) — Fashion Week Columbus organizers announced the event is changing formats for 2020 amid the coronavirus pandemic.
“The COVID-19 Global Pandemic has forced Fashion Weeks across the globe to rethink and reconceptualize their platforms created for fashion designers. Fashion Week Columbus will not only prevail with our mission to provide a platform for local and emerging fashion designers during this pandemic, but we’ll set the standard for other Fashion Weeks. We must continue to support fashion designers who are small businesses also trying to survive and grow during these unprecedented times.” says Thomas McClure, founder and executive director of the Columbus Fashion Council.
McClure said the Fashion Week Columbus team plans to head into its 11th year offering attendees more viewing options, including virtual streaming, opening the show up to a wider audience.
