The organization is distributing supplies to nurses staying in hotels in New York while they battle the pandemic.
Elyse Kroll may have been out of the trade show business since 2012, but the founder of ENK International has never strayed very far from her fashion roots.
So far, Birkenstock, Rebecca Minkoff, Joe’s Jeans, Fossil, Century 21, Splendid, Michael Stars, Erika Harvey, Rhone, TruGrace, Moussy Vintage, Surfside Supply and others have all donated products. Motivated by her sister, a retired nurse, as well as all the fashion companies who have pivoted into making masks and gowns, Kroll came up with the idea for From Fashion With Love. “This is not charity, it’s a gift,” she said. “If I can make these nurses happy and put a smile on their faces, that’s what I want to do.”
