The fashion houses have pledged €2 million and €1 million, respectively.
Gucci announced in a release that it would be donating a total of two million euros to be split between the World Health Organization’s Covid-19 Solidarity Response Fund and the Italian Civil Protection Department. It’s also encouraging its followers and customers to make donations of their own through a campaign called “We Are All In This Together,” which will launch on Gucci’s social media accounts on Friday.
Meanwhile, Valentino announced that its non-profit arm, the Valentino Garavani and Giancarlo Giammetti Foundation, will donate one million euros to benefit the new Columbus Covid 2 Hospital, a new area dedicated to Covid-19 cases at Rome’s Agostino Gemelli University Policlinic, which was inaugurated just five days ago – fashionista.com
