Coronavirus and the fashion industry

After my first tutorial I quickly realised that I was not happy with the idea of workwear as a main theme for my project. I have built on this idea by researching how the fashion industry has been effected by Covid 19. Initially I was interested in how workwear had changed since the pandemic hit but I am now building on that idea into other aspects of change.

Throughout my research I investigated how publications are producing work with strict government restrictions. I found that professionals were investing in fashion illustration, creative bubbled households and socially distant photoshoots. I truly admire how magazines have changed in the last few months, they have managed to stay relevant by showcasing what really matters in this new world and have created content that is sensitive to the current pandemic.

I think it would be interesting to bring to light the struggles that we faced as women throughout the pandemic. I envision a magazine of some sort that openly addresses issues such as mental health, body image and highlights the reality and craziness that this past year has brought.
