American Vogue editor Anna Wintour has started a coronavirus relief fund to help members of the fashion industry whose livelihoods have been compromised. Fashion brand Armani announced a while ago that it is making single use medical overalls in its production units.
Besides, fashion houses Christian Siriano, Brandon Maxwell, Michael Costello and Prada also took the initiative to supply enough face masks and gowns to medical centres in the United States who were facing a shortage.
