        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fashion&#8217;s furiously changing amid <strong>the pandemic.</strong></p><p>Diane von Furstenberg’s famed line has laid off 75 percent of its staff of 400, and will close 18 of its 19 stores <strong>according to Business of Fashion</strong>. Her Meatpacking District flagship will remain open, where DVF also has offices.</p><p>Meanwhile, Page Six has learned that luxe e-tailer Moda Operandi laid off 29 percent of its staff, according to insiders. Staffers were “notified via a virtual town hall [that] every person would receive an e-mail by [end of day] stating if they were spared or laid off,” said a source — who also claimed that the subsequent e-mails were addressed “ ‘Dear employee’ … not even personalized.”</p><p>But a rep commented: “There is still significant uncertainty about the length of the COVID pandemic and the depth of impact it could have … We have decided to reduce the size of our talented workforce. It was a difficult decision, but one that will ensure we can continue to deliver on the expectations of our customers, now, and in the future.”</p><p>The brand announced it was shutting its men’s division in April, while DVF is supposedly moving to a “digital-only, China-focused” model.</p>]]></content:encoded>
