As the pandemic continues to rage across the world, the fashion industry has moved into digital mode. Lakmé Fashion Week 2020 Digital First Season Fluid Edition which was hosted from October 20 to 25, 2020 followed the same global digital trend and gave designers and fashion followers a taste of what it is like to see crisp, fashion films in five to ten minute videos from the comfort of their homes. 37 designers unveiled their collections for the festive season while webinars on fashion were held on different subjects.
