Brandon Maxwell's brand will eventually design medical grade masks and gloves as more information becomes available on how to do so.

\"Good Morning America\" has reported that the U.S. has a stockpile of 13 million N95 respirator masks. Up to a billion might be needed over the next six months, according to the Trump administration.

In addition to Maxwell's announcement surrounding PPE, the fashion label will also be donating three wedding gowns to brides-to-be who have been impacted by financial hardship due to this crisis. Each bride will also receive a custom pair of Margaux bridal shoes.

\"A beacon of love and light,\" @SandrineCharles wrote in response to Maxwell's announcement.

\"Every season we try to teach ourselves something new,\" Maxwell said in his Instagram caption. \"This is not what we had hoped to learn this season, but like many others, we will meet the occasion with full hearts, optimism, and gratitude for the opportunity to serve.\"
