Si è inoltre proceduto ad esaminare l’impatto della pandemia Covid-19 nel biennio 2019-2020, individuandone le implicazioni su performance e sviluppo di nuovi modelli di business. Complessivamente, il presente lavoro contribuisce al dibattito esistente in letteratura, mostrando la significativa cpacità di resilienza emersa nel settore fashion durante i periodi di crisi.
