In recent weeks, the largest fashion conglomerates have donated millions of dollars to the fight against Covid-19, while others have found original ways to make their contribution. Some brands will donate a portion of the profit, others are producing medical masks and suits. The reaction of the fashion industry has been exemplary.
The latest initiative was undertaken by Vestiaire Collective, which organized a charity sale of clothing, bags, shoes and accessories belonging to popular names such as Rachel Weisz, Thandie Newton, Claire Waight Keller, Bella Freud and Charlotte Tilbury.

I feel I should do whatever I can to help people who are fighting this virus. "
