Happy holidays and best wishes for a more peaceful and prosperous new year

TheIndustry.fashion would like to wish all of our readers, partners and supporters all the very best for the festive season and a more peaceful and prosperous new year.

This has without doubt been the most challenging year for fashion and retail that any of us can remember and we know that many of you will have suffered personal and professional loss for which we send our deepest sympathy and solidarity.

But we would also like to salute you all for your resilience, creativity and innovation this year – it has been truly inspirational to witness and it will all help the industry rebuild for a more prosperous and sustainable future.

Thank you to all of you who have taken the time to share your news, participate in interviews, online events and podcasts – your generosity is greatly appreciated by us and all of our readers. And sincere thanks to all of you who have read our stories this year and who have subscribed to our newsletters, commented on our social posts and sent us your feedback.

TheIndustry.fashion is a founder-led business with a small, but dedicated, team of professionals who have all been through this challenging year along with you. We too have made sacrifices, innovated and adapted at great speed to ensure we can continue to serve you in the best possible way.

Thanks to the loyal support of our readers and partners we finish 2020 in a stronger position than when we entered it and we have plenty of inspiration and motivation for doing even better in 2021. If you have thoughts on what more we could do for you, don't hesitate to contact us at [email protected].

Our final Daily Update news bulletin of the year will be sent this evening but we will continue to cover breaking news on our site and social channels throughout the festive season and major news will be distributed via special breaking news alerts. Full Daily Update news service will return on 4 January.

We hope you manage to enjoy some rest and peace at Christmas, despite the constraints, and we look forward to seeing you and hearing from you very soon.

Best wishes,

Lauretta, Antony, Tom S, Tom B, Gaelle and the rest of the team.
