2020<\/a> has been tumultuous to say the least, and to say that we\u2019re all relieved the year is ending<\/a> is an understatement in itself. Amidst everything, the effects of the pandemic are also apparent in the fashion industry<\/a>. Fashion as we know it has completely pivoted. Many longstanding brands<\/a> have filed for bankruptcy \u2013 signalling a possible bleak ending. Other have announced closures that shut down stores for good. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bleak as it was, fashion this year has also produced many silver linings. Fashion\u2019s most anticipated event \u2013 Fashion Month \u2013 pushed through despite the pandemic, with designers<\/a> and creative directors at helm asserting their creativity in a slew of virtual showings, creative films, and socially-distanced physical shows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Knitwear and loungewear<\/a> rose to new heights in popularity<\/a> due to the pandemic lockdown, whilst the entire classy-top-scruffy-bottoms Zoom dressing<\/a> became a new trend. Ahead, we highlight more of such moments and items that shaped up the fashion industry in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u2018It\u2019 Fashion Items<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whilst fashion\u2019s It items have never really vanished completely, they\u2019ve certainly faded for a few years. 2020 saw a huge return of these items though, from Bottega Veneta\u2019s cloud-like Pouch bag<\/a> to Khaite\u2019s famous oatmeal cardigan and bra set<\/a>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, these coveted items wouldn\u2019t have achieved their It status without the help of celebrities. Of which, the Telfar Shopping Bag<\/a> got a bigger surge in popularity when congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wore it on Capitol Hill; whilst the JW Anderson patchwork cardigan<\/a> went viral when Harry Styles was pictured in it for a Today Show<\/em> rehearsal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
