In such a hard time, during which the whole world stopped to fight the emergency of the Coronavirus outbreak, many brands and stylists have mobilized to support research and the health system, through important donations or with the production of masks and gowns for medical workers. Among them is the kid’s fashion industry, traditionally linked and deeply connected to the territory and the population. Here are some of the kids fashion brands against Coronavirus initiatives.
