LVMH Converts Luxury Beauty Production Facilities Into Hand Sanitizer Hubs

As the world continues to deal with the fallout of Covid-19, LVMH is doing its part to help stop the spread in a very surprising, but oh-so welcome, way.  This weekend, it was announced that the luxury fashion conglomerate has converted the facilities it usually uses to produce cosmetics for the likes of Dior and Guerlain into production hubs for hand sanitizer. Perhaps even more impressively, the company announced in a statement that the sanitizer produced will be distributed to French public health authorities at no cost.

“Through this initiative, LVMH intends to help address the risk of a lack of product in France and enable a greater number of people to continue to take the right action to protect themselves from the spread of the virus,” the company said in a statement. “The gel will be delivered free of charge to the French health authorities and as a priority from this Monday to the Assistance Publique-Hôpitaux de Paris.” The statement also added that production of hand sanitizer will continue for as long as is necessary.

This isn’t the first time LVMH has stepped in to aid in this time of crisis, having previously donated 16 million renminbi (roughly CAD$3.1 million) to the Chinese Red Cross Foundation to help alleviate medical supplies shortages earlier on in the outbreak.

Others in the Italian luxury fashion industry have also rallied in recent days including Donatella Versace who donated 200,000 euros (roughly CAD$310,500) to the intensive care unit at San Raffaele hospital in Milan this weekend and Giorgio Armani who donated almost CAD$2 million to various Italian hospitals and medical institutions.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
