With the CDC recommending combining a cloth mask with a medical mask for maximum COVID-19 protection, designers from L.A. to Italy, including Tom Ford, Louis Vuitton and Trina Turk, are offering fashionable options.
Face coverings continue to top the list of must-have accessories for 2021, especially with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Feb. 10 recommendation to combine a cloth mask with a medical mask for maximum COVID-19 protection.
MSNBC’s Tiffany Cross, Kerry Washington, inaugural poet Amanda Gorman, and Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg are among the names who have worn double masks recently. Washington tweeted on Feb. 3, “I’ve been rocking the two masks (and a face shield!) while directing @insecurehbo. And it’s the WAY TO GO! #twomasksisbetterthanone.”

Re-branded the American Collections by an exhausted-looking Tom Ford via a publicised Zoom call on the final day of proceedings, the designer postponed his presentation due to a Covid outbreak at his LA studio. The CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers of America) chief promised faithfully to return to New York in September though.

When the world first went into lockdown last year, the creative world was quick to respond. Museums launched virtual exhibitions and cultural programmes that could be experienced at home sprang up everywhere from Argentina to Canada to South Africa. Theatres streamed performances. Musicians collaborated via TikTok. Painters held Instagram Live art classes. Fashion designers held virtual salon-like presentations.
So, do difficult times spur creativity or merely survival? It’s a question that’s been debated since time immemorial, often spot-lit when we find ourselves in the midst of challenging circumstances once more. During the first lockdown the question was posed again. How, people asked, will this time of disruption and loss affect what is being created and put out into the world?
