Why should designer clothes be reserved for celebrities and high profile people? This thinking led Miami designer René Ruiz of RENÉ BY RR, otherwise known for his extravagant red carpet dresses, to design personalized and functional hospital gowns for transplant patients at a local hospital – Jackson Memorial.
The designer, whose studio is located in North Miami, interviewed doctors, nurses and transplant patients at the Miami Transplant Institute at the hospital to find out how to create a more comfortable and functional hospital gown for patients.

“The result is a light blue hospital gown made from a cotton poplin blend with a royal blue trim, and features interior pockets and special“ line buttons on the inside. and outside, ”according to The Independent. “This will not only make life easier for the patient during their recovery, but also for nurses and medical staff who work with transplant patients,” he told People.
Ruiz reportedly delivered 4,260 gowns to the hospital in June 2021 and also launched its “Legacy by Rene” line with a hospital gown style.
According to The Independent, he plans to create a general hospital gown for the aforementioned hospital as part of the range. According to People, the fabric originated in Barcelona, Spain, and was made in Miami by Goodwill Industries, South Florida.
Ruiz wanted to get Goodwill involved because he once did a fashion show for the organization and their workforce is made up of people with intellectual disabilities and transgender people.“I like to keep my job in Miami and see these people happily working,” he told the newspaper.
It was also quoted by Independent.com that designing clothes for patients was “more rewarding than my other job.” “The look on the patients’ faces means everything. I am so happy to have helped make their life after the operation easier. The whole project was fantastic and well worth it.”
