Spring/Summer 2021 Fashion Month: 12 Designers’ take on fashion in the time of COVID-19

Spring/Summer 2021 Fashion Month is officially over after an eventful four weeks, and if you’ve yet to catch up on all the happenings this season, we’ve got your back—from a short and sweet guide to 30 striking collections, to four ‘street style in the New Normal’ series, to a roundup of noteworthy moments that have set the internet abuzz.

While pretty pastels, lightweight pantsuits, and (not-so groundbreaking) florals remain some of the top trends for spring/summer, a trend that has stood out this round, is the slew of pandemic-appropriate ensembles featuring an array of face coverings, from masks to shields to hat-and-veils.

Below, the 12 brands that have embraced fashion in the time of COVID-19, and our biggest takeaways from the collections:
