From the video

Answers: Why is the fashion industry's current show schedule unsustainable?

• fashion week schedule overload
• designers under pressure
• small fashion brands survival
• runway show frequency
• garment production pace

What it concludes

• The fashion industry's current calendar of around 120 days of fashion weeks per year, including pre-falls, resort shows, and menswear, is unsustainable for designers.
• Demanding that designers produce completely new ideas and collections every six months creates impossible economic and creative pressure, especially for smaller brands.
