Flu fashions

While some are lashing out with ridiculous ways to control swine flu, others are taking to the cloth to make a seemingly apocalyptic crisis somewhat fashionable. Check out French designer Romain Kremer’s turtleneck-gone-hygienic creation that was strutted down the runway during Barcelona Fashion Week.

 

There’s also this really sexual Louis Vuitton monogrammed face mask, which is apparently meant to be worn during a session of couture tennis. Like most LV items, however, it’s really just a way to say “I’ve got thousands of dollars to throw away on designer labels and want everyone to know it.” What better way to spend your recession dollars than on overpriced glorified cloth swatches to give a huge fashion house free advertising?

 

I’ll bet this guy totally had you fooled. Me too, that trickster. At least SOMEONE is taking this pandemic seriously.
