Welcome to the TS Studios blog. Here we will post the latest new and views from the world of fashion photography.

The gala opened with a tribute to the late designer, who passed away from a rare form of cancer this weekend. 

Abloh, a first-class talent and changemaker, left at a time when change is top-of-mind in the traditionally change-averse fashion space.  

 Abloh’s passing; more bad news cast a shadow over the night: The emergence of another COVID-19 variant has led to tightened measures in the U.K. for at least another three weeks. Nevertheless the show, which raises funds for the British Fashion Council’s Foundation, did go on; at least for those guests who could provide proof of double vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test.

Yet, the creativity category was still populated by established players. Abloh was recognized for his work at Off-White and Louis Vuitton Men’s alongside Dior’s Kim Jones, Gucci’s Alessandro Michele, Balenciaga’s Demna Gvasalia and Loewe’s Jonathan Anderson. ”These recognitions keep me and my colleagues motivated. Part of my design practice is to keep the doors open for the future generation,” said Abloh in a prerecorded message for the event. In the environment category, recognizing designers’ sustainability efforts, the likes of Stella McCartney, Gabriela Hearst, Priya Ahluwalia, Phoebe English and Bethany Williams were honored. There was also a “People” category awarding creatives whose work is helping make the industry a more inclusive space. British Vogue’s editor in chief Edward Enninful, A-Cold-Wall’s Samuel Ross, Harris Reed, Telfar Clemens, and Grazia U.K. 's deputy editor Kenya Hunt were all among the winners.

Welcome to TS Studios blog, read our latest blog post about the future of modelling and how COVID 19 has changed the industry below.     

It is apparent that the fashion industry is just at the beginning of its struggle. Though the duration and ultimate severity of the pandemic remains unknown, it is apparent that the fashion industry is just at the beginning of its struggle. Both supply and demand are affected by the pandemic, causing a storm for the industry: a highly integrated global supply chain means companies have been under immense strain as they tried to manage crises on multiple fronts as lockdowns were imposed in rapid succession halting manufacturing in China first, then Italy, followed by countries elsewhere around the world.

A freeze on spending is aggravating the supply-side crisis. Even online sales have declined 5 to 20 percent across Europe, 30 to 40 percent in the US and 15 to 25 percent in China. The coronavirus also presents fashion with a chance to reset and completely reshape the industry's value chain. The coronavirus presents the fashion industry with a chance to reset and completely reshape the industry’s value chain. It’s expected that themes of digital acceleration, discounting, industry consolidation and corporate innovation will be prioritised once the immediate crisis subsides. 

This will also be a time for collaboration within the industry — even between competing organisations. No company will get through the pandemic alone, and fashion players need to share data, strategies and insights on how to navigate the storm.

 Brands, suppliers, contractors and landlords should also find ways to share the burden. Like TS Studios on our Facebook page here to keep up to date on all our latest modelling news. Follow TS Studios on Twitter here and learn more about TS Studios on our about.me page here.
