Based on the current developments on the pandemic, the CFDA made the decision to cancel the New York Fashion Week Resort 2021 collection. Currently, New York is heavily hit with COVID- 19 cases, leading the country positive- tested cases. The Resort 2021 collection was originally scheduled for the week of June 6th. The CFDA “strongly recommend and urge designers not to show their Resort Spring 2021 Collection.” Along with the cancellation of the NYFW Resort 2021 cancellation, the CFDA decided postpone the June Men’s show and are working with tradeshows to align future dates. “The CFDA remains respectful of everyone’s priorities during this time. First and foremost protecting the health and wellbeing of our teams and ourselves, and stabilizing business operations.” Lastly, the CFDA and Fashion calendar will not be publishing a resort schedule.

At the rise of Covid-19 many of us first questioned the timeline of fashion week and would we see the regular calendar continue - the question weighed over many of us for months! It was refreshing to see design houses and designers across the globe take advantage of the uncertainty and plow into production mode - thus my interest in Jerri Reid New York - The Black Designer based in Brooklyn New York wow’d instagram with his latest collection paying homage to the Black Is King film which debuted earlier this year in July. I was taken aback at quick of a turn round the young designer produced and released his well crafted designs reflecting some of the films most memorable moments.
