Christian Siriano wants his sewing team to start making emergency medical masks
Fashion designer Christian Siriano and his team want to do their part to help out during the coronavirus pandemic. On Friday, the Project Runway alum tweeted that if New York Gov.

Cuomo quickly wrote back that he would be grateful for the help:
Other designers and fashion houses have also eagerly chipped in, including Spanish-based retailer Zara, which is donating masks and fabric for hospital gowns, Vogue reports. The French conglomerate LVMH — which owns Louis Vuitton, Givenchy, Christian Dior — is likewise using its facilities to manufacture hand sanitizers.
