These October 2020 multimedia trends range from family-friendly viewing party features to dystopian post-pandemic catwalks.
The EGONLab Men's Spring 2021 collection was recently unveiled in a virtual online film format and featured dystopian themes that were brought to life by designers Florentin Glémarec and Kévin Nompeix. The collection's textured and sculptural silhouettes were paired with expressive backdrops, bringing its creative vision to life while adhering to COVID-19 social isolation rules in regards to large in-person events.
A new Amazon and Twitch collaboration is another notable example. The collaboration aims to "bring live streaming features to the Amazon Music app" and "will allow artists to hold events on the streaming platform" -- including charity streams, performances and Q & A sessions, driving more engagement between artists and fans.
