Although the COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted various industries, there is always a silver lining to every situation. Unexpectedly, it has opened up opportunities in the “mask business.” At the beginning of the outbreak, we experienced a dark period of “mask shortages.” As mask supplies gradually stabilized, people began to seek masks that went beyond basic protective purposes, aiming for safety and style! If you are looking to get a unique and stylish mask, here are some masks introduced by fashion brands to help you stylishly get through the pandemic!
Salvatore Ferragamo masks are designed with the brand’s iconic Gancini print, in a versatile black and beige color scheme. The masks are made of double-layered silk material, providing a soft and delicate silky touch, while the ear loops feature a pleated design to greatly reduce discomfort when wearing traditional masks. The brand also thoughfully includes a matching mask storage bag for everyone to properly and hygienically store used masks.
Ralph Lauren recently launched a series of masks made from the brand’s signature Polo fabric, featuring patterns, stripes, and logo embellishments, simple in design yet high in quality. With a neutral design and color selection, they are suitable for both men and women to wear. The outer layer of the mask is made with antibacterial-treated cotton lining, and two layers of non-woven filter can effectively filter out 80% of particles. They can be washed up to 20 times, making them environmentally friendly, fashionable, and providing antibacterial protection.
Marine Serre is one of the earliest brands to launch their own masks after the outbreak of the epidemic, collaborating with AIRINUM to produce reusable masks with 98% protective efficacy. Adorned with the brand’s familiar crescent moon shape on a black mask, it exudes a subtle yet stylish fashion sense. Even Japanese fashion model Akimoto Kozue and the sisters Ami and Aya were seen wearing Marine Serre masks during fashion week street snaps, successfully sparking conversation.
Although GAP has suffered greatly from this ruthless pandemic, the company is still producing fashionable and affordable masks for everyone during this turbulent autumn. GAP’s mask designs are quite diverse, with trendy camouflage styles, girly floral patterns, and versatile minimalist solid color designs. In addition, the brand thoughtfully offers adult and children sizes to cater to the needs of different age groups!
Off-White, which is highly favored by trendsetters, has also released face masks with its consistent streetwear style, featuring its signature arrow logo, in a cool black and white color scheme. The masks are made of 100% pure cotton plain weave knit, providing excellent breathability. Although the masks were initially criticized by netizens for their ambitious pricing, the brand actually donates all mask sales revenue to support frontline medical workers in their fight against the epidemic.
