Fashion brand Armani said on Thursday it would
start making single use medical overalls for hospital workers at all its
Italian factories.
The group – whose brands include Giorgio Armani and Emporio Armani – said
they would be used for “the individual protection of healthcare workers
engaged in the fight against the Coronavirus disease.”
Founder Giorgio Armani has donated 2 million euros (2.2 million US dollars) in recent
weeks to hospitals around Italy, including Bergamo and Piacenza in the
hard-hit north, the company said.
The company operates four factories in Italy, a spokeswoman told AFP. Like
many other fashion brands, Armani has in recent years moved much of its
production out of Italy to other countries where labour costs are lower.(AFP)
