HELPING OUT: As part of luxury conglomerate LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton’s ongoing efforts to help supply masks to health-care personnel during the coronavirus crisis, Dior has reopened a Baby Dior workshop in order to produce masks. The Baby Dior factory in Redon, in the Brittany region of France, started producing masks on Tuesday with volunteer staff, the French fashion house said. “Dior is thereby actively committed to helping and protecting all those who are on the frontline of caring for us on a daily basis,” Dior said, paying tribute to the staff at the atelier for their “courageous” work. Many French industrial facilities are at a standstill as the country prepares to enter its third week of confinement in a bid to stem the tide of new COVID-19 cases. Dior did not specify how many workshops it has in France, or how many people usually work at the Baby Dior facility. The French government has called on fashion and textile companies for assistance producing masks and turned t...

NEW DATES: Italian textile trade show Milano Unica is the latest fashion-related event to be postponed in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak. The event, originally slated to run July 7 to 9, is now scheduled for Sept. 7 to 9 at the Milano-Rho fairgrounds.

Earlier in the week, Barberis Canonico told WWD the fair’s board was also concerned “about the impact that [the emergency] will have on our clie...

Modeling agencies are having their share of problems as they cope with the repercussions of the coronavirus pandemic. Like most industries, their challenges range from slow payments to layoffs to little or no work for their models. The situation also extends to makeup artists, hairstylists and photographers who, like models, are considered independent contractors. But agencies say they’re doing a lot more digitally to get their models work during this time, a trend that will likely continue as the world enters this new, abnormal normal. According to Susan Scafidi, founder and director of the Fashion Law Institute at Fordham Law School, under the CARES Act, “models along with the other independent contractors who make up the fabric of the fashion industry — photographers, stylists, makeup artists, and so on — can apply for special Pandemic Unemployment Assistance guaranteed by the federal government and administered by each state.” She said that even models who are non U.S. citizens but...
