The 2021 autumn-winter collection should be seen as a wake-up call for the fashion industry after a long period of silence. This season, fashion takes on the responsibility of bringing joy to people. The shadow of the pandemic still looms over the fashion capital, but creators are determined to convey a sense of hope — even if whether this hope can be realized remains uncertain. The journey to optimism is not always smooth. During the days when world was forced to halt, people no longer believed that the fashion industry could return to normal, or were willing to return to it. Fortunately, reflection and innovation have not stopped over the past year. Brands have made changes one after another, reflecting on the current overly rapid pace of work and calling for a return to the source of creativity. Clearly, the fashion industry cannot be separated from the rapidly changing social reality. If in the past, fashion was only responsible for beauty, now it has been given more social responsibility.
