From optimism dressing to built in PPE,here’s how designers responded to the current moment in a fully digital season of short films and recorded runway showsThe autumn/winter 2021 menswear shows were audience-free virtual experiences. Milan hosted the first Prada menswear collection from Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons followed by a virtual Q&A with students from around the world. Jonathan Anderson presented a point to in a Book and a point to on a Shirt for Loewe. Hermès employed a multiple camera angle livestream to recreate the real thing, while Virgil Abloh challenged the unconscious biases of dress codes with his collection for Louis Vuitton.
