Christian Siriano<\/a><\/strong>and his team have volunteered to produce masks for medical workers fighting against the coronavirus.<\/p>\n

The designer and Project Runway<\/em> star answered New York Governor Andrew Cuomo<\/strong>‘s call for the critical need of protective equipment via Twitter on Friday. <\/p>\n

“If @NYGovCuomo says we need masks my team will help make some,” Siriano wrote<\/a>. “I have a full sewing team still on staff working from home that can help.”<\/p>\n

Cuomo soon confirmed his office was in contact with Siriano, tweeting<\/a>, “Appreciate his help so much. Who’s next? Let’s do this together, NY!” <\/p>\n

New York hospitals are facing shortages of masks, gloves and gowns. Cuomo said the state is willing to pay a “premium” to companies and individuals able to assist. A rep for the fashion mogul told<\/a> Buzzfeed News that the masks will specifically go to healthcare workers.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Siriano later shared a video of a prototype his team created, writing, “We will be making a few versions of this in order to help as many people as we can. Here is the process so we can get a perfect fit. More to come thank you everyone we hope to get these to the right people ASAP.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Siriano joins a growing list of stars stepping up to aid in coronavirus relief efforts. On March 19, Kelly Ripa<\/a><\/strong> and Mark Conseulos<\/strong> donated $1 million to various causes, including WIN, the largest provider of shelter and supportive housing to women and children in New York City. <\/p>\n
