FACE to the FUTURE

As the fashion world adapts to a new world order, the face mask has emerged as a medium for self-expression. In an ongoing series, Bazaar invited some of the country’s best designers to share their interpretation of the universal symbol of safety.

“There is something very heart-warming about how each entity that exists in a forest lives to complement the others. While we push towards a new normal and masks become a common accessory, we choose the surface as a canvas for our storytelling—of craftsmanship, beauty, and emotions. The visual symbolises an undisturbed forest in equilibrium while the hand embroidery represents the mindful and sustainable process of production in fashion.”
