There was only one chance when I dressed up last year, and that was during my second lock-up in November, for a visit to Windsor Castle. Needless to say, I wasn’t there to meet the Queen – she and Prince Philip were in their own great bubble; I was being filmed with art historian and curator Caroline de Guitaut talking about royal wedding dresses.
After months of wearing the jeans, we feel cheered when we wear a Dior Bar jacket embroidered with flowers, paired with tailored trousers, and a black Chanel slingback. It is an instinctive choice, but it also happens to be symbolic: a lasting fashion symbol of how fashion emerged from previous crises with a strong sense of renewal.
It has been a century since Coco Chanel defined the 1920s look, which embodied a new era of modernism and women’s independence after the horrors of the First World War and the influenza pandemic that followed. Chanel had suffered traumatic losses of her own: her lover, Arthur Capel, survived the war as an army captain, only killed in a car accident in December 1919; while his younger sister, Antoinette, died shortly thereafter, in the final months of the pandemic.
Coco Chanel’s suffering seemed extraordinary: she ordered the shutters of her house to be painted black, and the walls of her bedroom too, and she retreated into deep sorrow. It was a time when many other women mourned their husbands, sons, brothers and fathers who had died on the battlefields of World War One; and the world is reeling from the ensuing shock of the flu virus that killed millions more.
London, February 9, 2021: Strategic industry partnerships – connecting companies from different segments of the luxury travel, hospitality and leisure industry – are widely seen as a key element in fostering recovery from the impact caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. A new study from VistaJet, the world’s first and only business aviation company, in association with Barton, the high net worth insight consultant, demonstrates the considerable value placed on partnerships by leading companies in the industry. While private aviation continued to see an influx of new customers, according to VistaJet’s report, The Future of Private Travel, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 has in general been severe for many international companies. of travel and luxury hotels, with more than three-quarters (77.8%) of companies having seen their turnover fall by at least 60% year-on-year and around 43% have saw a drop of over 90%. Despite a promising vaccination program, many companies are still reluctant to predict a rapid recovery in the coming months. However, 25.9% are optimistic and are starting to refocus their offering on a target HNW group, predicting a rapid recovery to pre-pandemic levels. VistaJet itself has seen a 29% increase in the number of new members joining in 2020, while its sister brand XO has seen its membership sales increase threefold. Many companies are already innovating to rethink their operational and business strategies – 94.4% have taken or are considering innovating their service and customer experience protocols, and 62.3% of companies have already introduced new offerings, products or services, with increased digital services and more concierge offerings personalized being particularly sought after. As businesses look to the future, it is clear that a majority of industry leaders are looking for collaborative partnerships outside of their core business, to help mitigate the negative impact of travel restrictions and ensure that their customers continue to benefit from unmatched end-to-end service throughout their journey. 86.5% of companies are taking steps to collaborate with other leading players in the industry, including hotels, travel designers, private aviation, yachts, drivers and concierge services. Additionally, 46.8% said partnerships are already helping generate additional revenue during the pandemic, which is notable given the limitations of global travel in 2020, while 70% are looking to establish new partnerships in the next 12 months. Partnerships can provide customers with integrated service every step of the way, with safer and more reliable experiences in the uncertain world of COVID-19. For example, VistaJet’s partner program, Private World, leverages its relationships to provide customers with a tailored travel experience, from pre-flight to flight and accommodation, with preferred services already lined up at destination. – from yachts to hotels, private islands and retreats. . This is just one solution among many in the industry. Ian Moore, Commercial Director of VistaJet, said: “While the impact of COVID-19 has been significant on a number of luxury travel, hospitality and leisure companies, it is clear that aviation business leads this whole sector with a V-shaped recovery. Therefore, we are increasing the number of partnerships to help accelerate the road to recovery of the sector as a whole. As consumers continue to be burdened with complex travel restrictions, they are looking for simple solutions that they know are safe and reliable. The collaboration between the best mobility and hospitality players in the field offers not only peace of mind, but also the high quality service and impeccable standards our customers have come to expect. I remain optimistic about the long-term growth and opportunities of the sector. Barton Founder Winston Chesterfield said: “While almost every industry has been affected by the pandemic, the global travel and hospitality industry has been hit the hardest. There is no alternative or flexible working format for most of these companies; legally binding closure is often fatal. And yet, as this report shows, there are still great hopes for a recovery. The eagerness of many high net worth clients to “ get back on track ” after initial fear of the virus has been a shot in the arm for the industry. It also forced these wealthy clients to place even greater trust in these organizations to make this happen.

Like most of the world, awards shows will look completely different in 2021, especially on the red carpet. That means, if the red carpet exists. With many major awards ceremonies pending and the pandemic hitting Los Angeles very hard, planning to dress up a potential nominee is a growing challenge for celebrity stylists.
“It’s going to be very different,” said Micaela Erlanger, stylist for Golden Globe nominees Vanessa Kirby, John Boyega, Jared Leto, and Anya Taylor-Joy. “Overall, whatever field you are in, especially with the fashion industry, it’s very, very difficult to do. But I think stylists, in particular, are resourceful and creative, so rolling the punches is something we’re familiar with. ”
Erlanger and her fellow stylists have carried out ‘temperature checks’ with fashion houses and brands as they await late nominations (the nominees for the Independent Spirit Awards arrived first on January 26, with Golden Globe nominations on February 3).
There are concerns that the look selection may be smaller this year, especially as brands like Elie Saab skipped Paris Haute Couture Week and others, such as former Cushnie et Ochs designer Carly Cushnie’s new label, Cushnie, closed down completely.
