Amid challenging times, fashion and footwear trade show Moda has announced its response to the rapid spread of Covid-19.

Reiterating its commitment to bringing people together from across the industry, Moda has a new campaign focused on community as well as new dates for its upcoming edition.

Following feedback from current customers, Moda is pushing the date of its August show back until September. The s/s 21 edition will run on 6-8 September 2020 at the NEC, Birmingham.

Moda SS21 will now take place alongside the retail trade show Autumn Fair.

Commenting is Moda event director, Adam Gough. “After carefully monitoring the situation and listening to our customers, we have decided to move the s/s 21 edition of Moda back to September.

“This decision reflects our commitment to continuing the growth of one of the UK’s longest-standing and best-loved fashion trade shows. It is our hope that both exhibitors and visitors will support this decision.

“Like many of you, the Moda team is working from spaces that look a little different – from home offices to shared dining tables. However, we want you to know that our inboxes remain open and our phones are switched on as we continue to work remotely.”

As part of organiser Hyve Group’s UK-wide initiative, Moda will also be running the #InspiredByKindness campaign.

The project encourages people to share positive stories and acts of kindness. The aim being to keep Moda’s community-feel alive during this difficult time.

The show will be offering its platforms to both brands and retailers in a bid to support their businesses; sharing inspirational work and acts of kindness that have emerged from the current situation.
