Fashion Fights Against Coronavirus

With the fashion industry at a virtual standstill since coronavirus swept through Asia and all of the world’s fashion capitals, fashion companies are pivoting their efforts to help fight against COVID-19 in a number of ways, from mobilizing their seamstresses to create masks for healthcare workers and others in need of personal protective equipment to donating revenue to charities that will help make an impact on those in need due to unexpected loss of income because of the virus. Here is a list of what some companies are doing:
