Fashion, for example, is one of the industries that is most affected by this epidemic. However, through Designers Give Back, JD.ID wants to convey to the whole community that fashion is not just a matter of selling clothes and making a profit. Fashion is also a means for us to care and share with others,” said Susilo.
