French fashion house and luxury retail firm Louis Vuitton has repurposed several of its Maison’s ateliers in France to produce non-surgical face masks, the brand recently announced in an Instagram post. It started this initiative in partnership with Mode Grande Quest textile network to donate to the much-needed protective gear to frontline healthcare workers.

“Thank you to the hundreds of artisans who have volunteered to create these masks, as well as everyone doing their part to fight this global pandemic,” the fashion house further added.

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.
