Zadig & Voltaire has decided to support the fight against coronavirus by contributing revenues from its online business to the Paris Hospitals Foundation.

 “Given the current health crisis in which Covid-19 is affecting a great many countries, Zadig&Voltaire has decided to help fight this pandemic by supporting the foundation Hospitals of Paris. The company will be giving the foundation 20% of sales of its new collection sold via its online store in France,” the Paris-based brand said in a statement.

Zadig & Voltaire thus becomes the latest fashion house to directly support medical staff in Europe and North America, joining a diverse group of houses and designers that includes Giorgio Armani, LVMH, Moncler, Versace and Pyer Moss.

 Cecilia Bönström, the company's Swedish-born creative director, commented: "France is the country that welcomed me over 20 years ago, and I owe her my support.

"We believe it is vitally important to support the work of the foundation for the Hospitals of Paris and of France, which gives real, practical help to all healthcare professionals in their day-to-day work and in fulfilling their missions. Today more than ever, we must show mutual care and support,” she added.
