LEADING international fashion designers and industry experts say unpredictable and typically warmer weather worldwide is wreaking havoc on the industry.
It is forcing fashion houses to ditch traditional seasonal collections for transeasonal garments that may lead to a drastic overhaul of fashion show schedules and retail delivery dates.
"The whole fashion system will have to change," Beppe Modenese, founder of Milan Fashion Week, told The New York Times last week.
"The fashion system must adapt to the reality that there is no strong difference between summer and winter any more… You can't have everyone showing four times a year to present the same thing. People are not prepared to invest in these clothes that, from one season to the other, use the same fabrics at the same weight."
Mr Modenese's comments came as New York fashion retailers blamed a prolonged "Indian summer" for poor autumn sales. Who needs a woollen pea coat when it is 30 degrees-plus?
We got real reason to worry cuzzin's. Gorbot's world is likely to get so people friendly that Momma won't need to go out and buy a new winter coat every fall... What a shame! Now, I got to ask you, which of these two styles of fashion do you find most attractive?
