Paris Fashion Week: Face Masks on Show

The Paris Fashion Week (September 28–October 06, 2020) was a mix of socially distanced physical shows, pared-down in-person presentations, and fully digital shows streamed online with videos promoting their collections. 

But what was clearly noticeable was that the catwalk flourished with designer face masks. And some of them even cover the whole face.

 

Netizens had pointed to the trend of face masks at the Paris Fashion Week as evidence of hypocrisy from the French – after France became the first European country to impose a ban on full-face veils in public areas back in 2011. 

Still, that did not stop French designer Marine Serre (right) turning heads at the said event by sending models down the runway in high-fashion outfits with matching face masks. 

So, now it's okay with covering the face?! What’s the meaning of this?!
