From #BottegaResidency to #GucciCommmunity and #TeamKarl, here are some of the fashion labels who are comforting us with strength, positivity and creativity.

In these moments filled with&nbsp;uncertainties as we isolate ourselves at home to flatten the COVID-19 curve, the one place most found solace from is the Internet (especially for those who are living alone).

To help comfort us with love, light, creativity, strength and passion, many fashion houses have stepped up to build communities on social media where we can get a brief escape into a world of fashion wonders &ndash; from the Bottega Residency to the Gucci Community, Team Karl and Dior Stands With You.

Here, we give you a list of fashion houses that you can check out on social media for an interactive and engaging social experience to lift your spirits up!
