The Mask Challenge
Dr. Plague, flowers, fabric… Many of our followers were inspired by our mask-making competition that we launched for the confinement period. Throughout the lockdown, we received many submissions of inventive and original designs that we are happy to share with you!
1) Melisa Madanamootoo
You would be (almost) sure to never catch any airborne diseases with this mask created by Melisa Madanamootoo and inspired by the costume worn by plague doctors in the 17th century.
Originally created by French architect Charles de Lorme, the costume was used by physicians who treated patients suffering from the bubonic plague. The beak was filled with aromatic scents believed to keep away viruses.
2) Aurelia Ritter
Aurélia Ritter came up with a colourful and all-natural mask consisting entirely of flowers. This hippie-style mask would definitely set you apart in the new mask trend!
3) Eleonore Audi

4) Palvishee Jeewoon
