Vegan Fashion Week still scheduled to return despite coronavirus concerns

Despite the cancelation of major events, Vegan Fashion Week will still
occur in Los Angeles in April to showcase Fall 2020 collections from
participating brands and designers, according to an announcement from the
movement.

“Now is a very important time to share our message and draw connections
between sustainability and ethics,” shared the movement’s founder
Emmanuelle Rienda in a statement. “Animal exploitation is directly linked
to the virus outbreak, the Australian bushfires, the Amazonian forest
fires, and our current global environmental crisis. I want to inspire
positive change and elevate the conversation through fashion, because
fashion is activism.”

The theme for this year’s Vegan Fashion Week is Expansion and will
explore challenges surrounding climate change from the perspective of
fashion, ethics, sustainability, and animal rights.

The event will include a designer showroom, a panel series, and a
collective fashion show. Taking measures to protect the health of event
participants, the event will take place in an intimate setting by
invitation only while also reducing its carbon footprint.
