Trend Alert – The New Face is No Face At all!

The most unsurprising fashion trend out of Paris Fashion Week is the face mask. During the show extravaganza, designers showed stylish and equally functional solutions to the Coronavirus outbreak which is having the entire globe in panic. Marine Serre, a French designer, showed a collection with all models walking the runway wearing facemasks. The surprising part is that Serre’s collection was designed before the outbreak, and she has used face-masks in her collections before, as reported by BBC.

Facemasks are anything but new though. During Paris Fashion Week last year in January, American rapper Cardi B made a bold style statement stepping out in an avant-garde look, including a head-to-toe floral look by designer Richard Quinn that covered her entire face.

Shortly after, Ghanaian slay queen Nana Akua Addo wore a full head-to-toe bodysuit to attend Glitz Fashion Week in Accra causing a stir.

In December of last year, during Abryanz Style and Fashion Awards, Solomon Tazibone, made a case for ‘No face face’ stepping out to walk the red carpet wearing a bedazzled face-mask.  

A face-mask

While it started out as a cool style trend that has for decades been embraced by people in Asia, it has now become a healthy precaution to walk around wearing a face-mask. A face mask can protect you from contracting a cold, flu or other deadly viruses like the coronavirus, which has become a global crisis.

Away from the plethora of health reasons, you can wear a mask when you’re having a ‘bad makeup’ day, and you don’t want anyone giving you those ogles. Well, because many fashionistas are vain like that, and it is okay!

Away from style, do you know how to protect yourself from the Coronavirus? See our small guide here.
