Designer Hospital Gowns



Just read this article about new designer hospital gowns. Kind of a tangent from what I usally talk about (collaborations, discounted fashion, etc.), but I couldn't resist and had to post.

The Department of Health recently ran a competition "in a drive to improve patient dignitiy and privacy." Designer Ben de Lisi (who has dressed Kate Winslet and Rachel Weisz) won the competition with his non-backless gown that is a more like a long t-shirt with "plastic poppers up either side." These will even be available for purchase by hospitals next year at the very same price as the old version of hospital gowns. What a fashionable way to "make a difference!"
