Capri Holdings Donates $3 Million to Coronavirus Causes

Capri Holdings, which owns Michael Kors, Versace, and Jimmy Choo, has announced that together its three brands will donate more than $3 million to aid those impacted by the coronavirus. “Our hearts and souls go out to those who are working on the front lines to help the world combat the COVID-19 pandemic,” says chairman and chief executive John D. Idol.

The Michael Kors company will divide a total donation of $2 million—$1 million from the company and $1 million from founder Michael Kors himself—between three New York–based organizations. NYU Langone Health and NewYork–Presbyterian Hospital will each receive a $750,000 donation, while God’s Love We Deliver and Vogue and the CFDA’s A Common Thread will each receive $250,000.

Versace, which already donated $1 million to the Chinese Red Cross Foundation in February, will donate an additional $400,000 to Milan’s San Raffaele Hospital and $100,000 to the Camera Della Moda to supply ventilators and medical equipment to Italian hospitals. In London, Jimmy Choo will donate $250,000 to the NHS and to the WHO’s COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund.

Altogether, the companies’ donations will aid people around the world, echoing the ways fashion has banded together globally to combat this crisis. “This is clearly a time for people to come together in every way and on every level, because we are all stronger in our united resolve,” says Idol.
