Read our privacy policy Anna Wintour has shared the emotional response she experienced after finding out Ralph Lauren donated $10m to fighting coronavirus. “Positivity is such a precious commodity right now, but I felt something close to pure joy in recent days,” Wintour wrote, before explaining that she “broke down” when speaking to Lauren on the phone. “American fashion and beauty companies have been mobilising too, making masks, gowns and hand sanitiser,” Wintour said. “I have never been more proud of our industry.” Last week, it was reported that American fashion designer Christian Siriano was making face masks for healthcare workers, while American fashion retailer Nordstrom announced it would be sewing more than 100,000 masks to be distributed among hospital staff.
