From Internet favorites to industry game changers, these are the designers and brands that made their mark amidst an ever-changing fashion industry.

Despite a <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/politics-culture/books-to-read-pandemic" target="_blank">pandemic</a> that has&nbsp;put so many aspects of life on pause, fashion has persisted as a form of <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/men/gilbert-and-george-art-jonathan-anderson-designer-interview" target="_blank">art</a>&nbsp;and community, with plenty of fresh labels making their way into the mainstream. The <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/paris-fashion-week-spring-2021-trends-dior-chloe-kenzo-balmain" target="_blank">Spring/Summer 2021</a> shows&mdash;ranging from&nbsp;runways with <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/chanel-louis-vuitton-masks-runway-fashion-week-coronavirus">masked</a> audiences to photo and video presentations&mdash;created an opportunity for&nbsp;creativity and adaptation that showed a more intimate side of the fashion industry. At the same time, fashion lovers took to the Internet to express themselves, an&nbsp;effort that has sent some pieces like Orseund Iris&#39; <a href="https://orseundiris.com/products/ballerina-wrap-skirt-ivory" target="_blank">ballerina&nbsp;skirt</a>&nbsp;and Lirika Matoshi&#39;s <a href="https://lirikamatoshi.com/products/strawberry-midi-dress" target="_blank">strawberry dress</a> into virality.&nbsp;

Here,&nbsp;L&#39;OFFICIEL&nbsp;gives a nod to the brands that have caught everyone&#39;s eyes&mdash;be it for&nbsp;their unique aesthetics, vivacious communities, or behind-the-scenes consciousness&mdash;and&nbsp;helped&nbsp;us look at fashion through a fresh lens&nbsp;in 2020.
