Designers and brands all over the globe are changing the way they present their collections. Instead of traditional in person runway shows, the fashion world is moving towards a model of virtual presentations. At KB Fashion Productions, we have had the privilege of working with some extremely talented designers and filmmakers to help create our own virtual runway presentations. In this seminar, we are not only excited to share our recent samples of work, but also discuss the benefits of an online presentation with designers and filmmakers who helped bring these projects to life.
