NEW YORK, NY – With the Swine Flu continuing to spread, people all over the world are stocking up on products to prevent infection. Top designers are offering high fashion alternatives to the common face mask.
Louis Vuitton is offering facemasks with his trademark print. The masks are made of Italian leather, Egyptian cotton, and the finest Kentucky charcoal. Beware of imitation knock offs that are already available in New York’s Chinatown.
Donna Karan and Calvin Klein are offering similar lines of surgical face masks aimed at the modern urban dweller. Basic black cotton and denim comes together in sleek hip design that still reduces risk of infection by 50%.
Prada is offering a spring themed line of face masks. Spring themed prints or basic colors to match typical seasonal wear adorn the vegan leather masks. In addition to blocking the deadly Swine Flu the designer masks also have small compartments that make life smell like roses, frankincense, or fresh made cinnamon buns. Masks from this line will be seen on upcoming episodes of The Hills.
British artist Banksy has also released his own line of surgical masks. Each is hand signed by the artist and available for free; however they are only available in the ICU of Mexico City’s largest hospital.
Even Sarah Jessica Parker is releasing her own line of face masks, available through Target. However, analysts are expecting poor sales as a recent study showed the masks to actually increase the risk of infection. Also, because they are only available in pastels.

People are dying and you guys think this is funny!!!!
April 30th, 2009 at 5:09 pm
This is really sad…trying to make a buck on something so serious when people are dying because of this illness. What these designers should really be doing is passing it forward to the infected countries and cities who might not have enough mask to go around and to keep it from spreading. I have never seen so much ignorance and shit eaters.

I don't think this is funny ( but please lighten up ) honey we need to be stylish at such times as these. Boss underwear, and a fashionable face mask? Where do I buy one?
May 2nd, 2009 at 6:01 am
Lighten up folks, masks may become a necissity . So why not designer masks? If we have to start going out in them why not be chic ( as chic as one can be in a mask )? One should always be stylish, and fashionable. Where do I purchase designer masks? Seriously.

Consider the source, it's the freaking Weekly World News. What else do you expect? People take stuff so seriously, and get offended even easier.
