The Power of Philanthropy

Christian Siriano and Dr. Pardis Sabeti

May 8, 2020
Fashion designer Christian Siriano and Dr. Pardis Sabeti, a professor at Harvard University’s Center for Systems Biology, each joined TIME100 Talks to discuss changes in work and finding hope during the COVID-19 pandemic, respectively.

Siriano, who has been lauded for turning his Manhattan fashion studio into a mask factory to provide protection to frontline workers in New York City, said he anticipates making protective gear for at least the next six months.

“I don’t think that fashion will mean the same thing after this,” he said. “We still need fantasy and dreams and those things to escape, but I think it will just be different. It will need to be more meaningful and whatever that is, I’m not sure yet, but it’s definitely how I’m designing now, I’m thinking about it.”

Sabeti, known for studying infectious diseases as they spread, told TIME that while finding a vaccine for the coronavirus will require a long period of time, efforts to understand the outbreak of SARS-COV-2 have sped up, thanks to more collaboration between scientists and technological advancements in tools.
