Zara's Owner Is Donating Over 300,000 Masks to Hospital Patients and Workers
While many of us are doing our part in stopping the spread of COVID-19 by staying home or working essential jobs, major fashion companies are thankfully being supportive as well. Earlier this week, luxury conglomerate LVMH, which owns Louis Vuitton, Dior, Givenchy, and others, announced that its perfume and cosmetics factories will be producing hand sanitizer to distribute to French health authorities. Now, Zara's parent company, Inditex, has announced its own contribution to the cause.
As Vogue reports, Spanish company Inditex has committed to donating masks for health workers and COVID-19 patients in Spain. The company has already donated 10,000 masks and hopes to donate another 300,000. Per Vogue, Inditex's statement said it "will make a delivery at least once a week of materials we purchase directly." In addition to the masks, Inditex is also actively researching ways to manufacture hospital gowns using its own factories. Currently, Inditex is trying to source the hospital-grade material needed to achieve this, according to Vogue. I think we can all agree that the world needs all the help it can get right now, so bravo to Inditex for stepping up.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
