Event organiser Hyve has announced that footwear show Moda has been cancelled for 2020, and will return next year alongside Spring Fair 7th-9th February 2021 alongside leading retail show Spring Fair.
The decision was taken in a bid to 'ensure that Moda retains its value, and that attendance and participation reflect the quality that Hyve's fashion shows offer,' according to a press release.
Martin Arnold, Hyve Fashion Portfolio Director says, "After monitoring the situation we have decided that Moda will not take place for its spring/ summer edition this year. We have carefully considered hosting Moda later this year, but after speaking with our customers, we feel that this would not provide the experience that they have come to expect. However, we are excited to connect with our industry at Fashion Together and look forward to welcoming everyone to Moda in February 2021."
In its place organisers will run the virtual event, Fashion Together this September. The digital forum has been designed to unite the fashion industry and bring essential insights to audiences.
According to a press release, "Recognising the importance of connecting people as a crucial part of what the shows provide, Fashion Together will provide an exclusive seminar programme and practical advice designed to educate and inform delegates. This will take place from 1st to 2nd September 2020 and is open to fashion brands and buyers."
