The coronavirus pandemic not only killing people but also causing trouble for all sorts of industries. The fashion industry is one of them which is greatly affected by a coronavirus.

Moreover, Alessandro Michele, an Italian fashion designer and creative director of Gucci Brand, started using brand’s official Instagram page for sharing his personal thoughts and posts. He shared six letters and named the post as “Notes from the Silence”. In the letters, he wrote about the discoveries he did during lockdown and plans for Gucci’s bright future. It is the whole collection from the 29th of March to the 16th of May.

Rescheduled Fashion Calendar
According to Michele, “Two engagements a year are more than enough to give time to form a creative thought, and to give more time to this system.” Moreover, he said that he would come across twice a year to share the new story with new chapters. These new chapters will be the blend of rules and genres, and linguistics codes and communication platforms.
These chapters will also be thrilled, lop-sided, and free and will be nourishing on new space. Michele called a meeting on Monday, the 25th of May, discussing his notes and explaining them further.
