Malaysian designers sew PPE gowns for medical frontliners: 'Togetherness is the key'

Khoon Hooi, among other Malaysian designers, is lending a hand in sewing hospital gowns for frontliners.

Globally, we have witnessed a change of focus for designers and labels as they lend a hand in helping out those affected by the Covid-19 spread. It is the same here, where the Malaysian Official Designers Association (Moda) is rallying those in the industry to help out.

Moda has gotten those working in fashion to put their sewing skills to good use by producing personal protection equipment (PPE) for the local medical staff. Deliveries of materials have been made to several designers, where they can then work at home to produce hospital gowns.
