The February 2021 physical edition of British trade fair Moda has been cancelled and the event will now be held digitally.

The event was originally planned to be held in September 2020, but – thanks to COVID-19 – it was pushed back to February 2021 to be held alongside organizer Hyve’s retail show Spring Fair.

However, witnessing the current situation of the pandemic, the company announced that it will no longer go ahead due to fresh lockdown and subsequent restrictions.

The virtual forum will take place on February 23, 2021, and will be open to both brands and buyers. It intends to allow fashion professionals to do business despite all pandemic-induced travel restrictions.
