Netizens were captivated by the PPE gown, most of whom praised Jovian for his creative use of colour:
The designer, who's known for utilising the Royal Pahang Tenun in his contemporary and classic designs, recently converted his label’s in-house atelier into production space for PPE gowns and headscarves as "a helpful gesture to those who have fought bravely for us".He explained in another Instagram post that he chose to use white instead of the usual blue because he wanted to "symbolise the frontliners’ pure and clean hearts".
According to Jovian, the first batch of the PPE gowns were dispatched out on Monday (6 April):
On top of the classy white PPE gowns, Jovian has also been handing out hygiene kits to frontliners and those in the essential sectors.
The kit consists of 20 face masks, 16 pieces of gloves and a 50ml-sized alcohol hand sanitiser.
You can actually grab yourself a hygiene kit for RM59.90 on his website.

You all are, indeed, our heroes!
