Full Coverage: COVID-19'S Effects On The Fashion Industry | In a new essay for V, Contributing Fashion Director GroCurtis discusses the notion of designers creating collections that reflect the present atmosphere of society:

For the outsider, the fashion world—with its many mysteries and rituals—is often a universe completely disconnected from reality, but when you take a closer look, you will realize that fashion designers are walking prophets of the times we live in. Trends are not only dependent on the whims of the designer, but also symbolize his own reflection upon the world. Very often, designers show in their collections what the mainstream society only whispers but does not dare say aloud.

For us fashion nerds, hiding faces on the catwalk is not a revolutionary novelty. It is worth remembering the most controversial collection of Hussein Chalayan,"Burke" from 1997, when he used elements of traditional clothing worn by Islamic women. Chalayan raised the dust with a collection that criticized Islam's attitude towards the woman's body. Years before him, hiding the face of a model became a trademark of the collections of the ingenious Martin Margiela.
