Gwyneth Paltrow, Christy Turlington, Laura Dern, Naomi Campbell, Anwar Hadid, Janet Mock, Rafferty Law, and Adut Akech have signed up for the #ValentinoEmpathy campaign, starring in the Italian fashion house's autumn ads which will be shot by a friend or family member at home.

The celebrities have agreed to waive their fee for the project, enabling Valentino to make a €1m donation to Lazzaro Spallanzani Hospital in Rome, aiding the fight against Covid-19. The fashion house's creative director Pier Paolo Piccioli posted on Instagram 'The restrictions caused by this pandemic have helped me to imagine a special project based on empathy and sentiment which are not disappearing due to social distancing'.
