The plan is to increase accessibility and maximize sales effects by running a B2B online order-order consultation’trade show’ between domestic designers and leading overseas buyers and’live commerce’ for general consumers.
As Seoul confirmed the possibility of a digital fashion show method with ’21S/S Autumn Fashion Week’ in October last year, when it introduced its first digital runway with Corona 19, this year it aims to reinforce the content and evolve it to the next level. In addition, Seoul Fashion Week will be directly hosted by the city from this year for more systematic support.
The three major programs of this 2021 F/W Seoul Fashion Week are’digital fashion show showing runway videos for each designer’,’one-on-one online order consultation between designers and overseas buyers’, and’live commerce selling designer clothes’.
“Seoul Fashion Week is a representative business that Seoul supports to revitalize the domestic fashion industry. Through Seoul Fashion Week, a global star brand such as BTS was created and this raises the status of the domestic fashion industry. We look forward to establishing itself as an active virtuous cycle.” “In particular, this year, the National Museum and Art Museum, which symbolizes cultural competitiveness, will be opened for the first time as a runway, and an attempt will be made to put’fashion’ into’city’ and’historical culture’. “We will do our best to promote Seoul’s urban brand, not just a fashion show, but also to achieve various tourism and industrial effects in the post-corona era.”
