Okay kiddo, so do you remember when we used to go to stores and try on clothes before we buy them? Well, because of the Covid-19 pandemic, a lot of stores had to close or limit the number of people who can come in. This made it harder for people to buy clothes and for stores to sell them.
But that's not all. Since many people are staying at home and not going out as much, they don't need to buy as many clothes. This means that stores and brands are not making as much money as before. This is bad for the people who work in the fashion industry, like designers and store workers, because they might lose their jobs.
Also, because many factories that make the clothes are in places where the pandemic is really bad, they had to shut down. This means that there are fewer clothes being made and shipped out to stores. Plus, when stores did try to get new clothes, they had to wait longer because shipping was slower.
Finally, because many events where people wear fancy clothes, like weddings or parties, have been cancelled, people aren't buying as many dresses and suits. This has hurt the sales of high-end fashion brands.
Overall, because of the Covid-19 pandemic, the fashion industry has been affected a lot, with fewer clothes being made and sold, stores closing down or limiting customers, and people not going out and needing clothes as much.
