Workers at the museum voted “almost unanimously” not to open on Sunday and Monday.
NEW PLANS: The coronavirus continues to create havoc with the industry’s calendars of events.
On Monday evening, Gucci said in light of “the ongoing uncertainty prompted by the coronavirus outbreak, as a precautionary measure” the Italian luxury brand has decided to cancel plans to host its cruise 2021 fashion show in San Francisco on May 18. “A decision on the new timing and location of the show will be announced at a later date, once the situation becomes clearer. At this time, our thoughts are with all of those affected around the world,” the company said.
The brand’s creative director Alessandro Michele had chosen the American city for its history as a center of liberal activism and for being a cultural melting pot.
The decision follows Prada’s move to postpone its cruise show, which had been scheduled for May 21 in Tokyo. Several trade shows, from Mido and the Salone del Mobile in Milan to Cosmoprof in Bologna, Watches & Wonders in Geneva and Baselworld, have also been postponed due to the coronavirus outbreak.

Amazon wants shoppers to know who’s in charge.
The e-commerce giant has partnered with fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg during March, or Women’s History Month, for a new campaign: Amazon x #InCharge. The campaign highlights women-owned businesses, their products and shares stories of various female entrepreneurs across the Amazon eco-sphere.
“To be in charge is first a commitment to ourselves,” said von Furstenberg. “It is respecting and trusting our character, knowing that it is forever the home and core of our strength. I am thrilled to work with Amazon in celebration of International Women’s Day,” she said, the global day of celebrating women that happens each year on March 8.
“In Charge” T-shirts, designed by Diane von Furstenberg, are available exclusively on Amazon during Women’s History Month.

DINNER WITH DEMI: The restaurant was aflutter: Demi Moore had just entered the room.
“She’s a very good friend of mine — all the people here tonight are,” said New York-based designer Eli Mizrahi. “I wanted all my friends and family to be here.”
On Saturday night, Mizrahi unveiled his first full collection for Mônot, the ready-to-wear brand he created in 2019 and debuted with a “collection zero” in September, at Michelin-starred restaurant Apicius in Paris.
Guests including Moore, Shailene Woodley, Joey King and Amber Valletta sat down for an intimate dinner as models walked through the carpeted rooms wearing Mônot fall 2020.
The collection, which was inspired by artist Lucio Fontana and architect Eero Saarinen, was pretty evening focused. It featured a long black jersey evening dress with a circular front opening, revealing a matching bustier bra underneath; a purple cocktail dress worn with red tights; and long-sleeve dresses with a high-side slit trimmed with rhinestones.

“I find inspiration just walking down the street,” said Mizrahi, who prior to creating Mônot worked in “connecting talents with brands.” His self-confessed obsession with architecture was visible in the graphic cutout shapes that revealed hips and naked backs in his designs, which
