As so many fashion weeks/shows/fairs have been canceled, several Houses and designers are repurposing their resources to combat the pandemic, and make a positive difference. Toward the beginning of the outbreak, LVMH began using three of its perfume factories—Givenchy, Guerlain and Christian Dior—to make hand sanitizer, delivering them to Parisian hospitals in need, without any charge.

Dior is actively committed to aiding and protecting all those who are on the front line every day. Thank you to our wonderful petites mains who, in an exceptional show of solidarity, are working tirelessly to protect them.” Photo Credit: Dior For more information, please visit the House’s website by clicking here.
