Paris will hold a men's fashion week in virtual format from 9 to 13 July for the Men Spring/Summer collections 2021, organisers said on Wednesday.

"This event will be structured around a dedicated platform," the Federation de la Haute Couture et de la Mode said in a statement. "Each house will be represented in the form of a creative film/video."

In late March, organisers said they had to cancel the men's and haute couture fashion weeks in Paris because of the coronavirus outbreak.
