In light of the coronavirus crisis, which has caused many healthcare facilities to experience a shortage of personal protective equipment (PPE), several fashion designers are using their facilities and equipment to make face masks and other supplies for frontline workers and hospitals in need.
A representative for Stewart Parvin confirmed the news with Insider via email but declined to comment further or share how many sets of scrubs are planned to be donated to National Health Service (NHS) hospitals.
The designer first made the announcement on Twitter on April 9, sharing a picture of the custom scrubs.

"As ever, our most grateful thanks to all those risking their own health and working tirelessly to look after and protect us all," Stewart Parvin said in a tweet.
Stewart Parvin's designs are particularly loved by the Queen. Most recently, the monarch wore a Stewart Parvin blue cashmere coat on Commonwealth Day on March 9, which was her last official public appearance before royal engagements were canceled due to the coronavirus outbreak.
Stewart Parvin also designed the lime-green, silk tweed coat the Queen wore to Meghan Markle and Harry's wedding in May 2018.
The monarch has become known for her colorful coats. She's donned the monochromatic outfits at engagements with global leaders, holiday events, and Buckingham Palace parties — such as the light-pink Stewart Parvin coat she wore at her garden party in May 2019.
Zara Tindall, the Queen's oldest granddaughter, also wore a wedding gown designed by Stewart Parvin when she married Mike Tindall in 2011.
