    I can understand that if you're a Chanel,Gucci, Prada, Fendi, Saint Laurent juggernaut. But even the newer (or new at the time) brands in their infancy stages were ostensibly immune from criticism. It's almost as if you show during fashion week, you're automatically absolved from any wrong doing/shortcomings by default.

        And now, here we are. Burberry of course sends the first press release... From real time shows to real time seasons. Just called Feb and September and not distinguishing between Men's and Women's. Wonder when the rest will follow.

        "Though Burberry has the financial muscle and vertical integration to make this kind of switch (it owns many of its factories, and 70 percent of sales comes from its own retail network), smaller independent designers are dependent on wholesale partners for distribution, and such a relationship involves a six-month lead time between showing, placing orders and production. How they will adapt remains to be seen."

          Vetements is going to do the same.

            Tom Ford cancels NYFW show:

            Full article:

            The designer has announced that he won't show in February, in order to fall in line with a see-now-buy-now model


            Following suit.

            TOM FORD has announced that he has cancelled his planned presentations at New York Fashion Week. He will instead come back onto the schedule in September, amalgamating his menswear and womenswear collections into one show and adopting the "see-now-buy-now" model that is proving so popular among fashion houses in the industry right now. Instead of showing the traditional spring/summer collection, he will show autumn/winter 2016 instead.
            How will this affect the smaller brands if this becomes the new industry norm?
            Will this effect design, manufacturing, delivery?

            Will the buyers still be placing their orders 6 months ahead of time, albeit reversed?
