One question that lingers my mind as a fashionista, is if the recent need for face masks will eventually be incorporated in couture and soon enough, everyone will adopt the same concept of face masks like Asian countries. However, instead of containing your breath and preventing the spread of germs; it’s used as an accessory. Even stranger yet, will luxury brands like Louis Vuitton and Gucci try to make money if they made their own version of these face masks using their fancy leather or slapping their logo on them? The better question is: is it a good idea to incorporate face masks in fashion?

Fashion is defined as being something based on trends or what’s considered trendy. Keeping this in mind, we begin to recognize how in a way, fashion is an art form. We get to pick and choose what we believe looks good, and we find something that makes us feel good.

Throughout high school, people called me our high school’s very own “Fashion Queen”. People were well aware of my passion for it, and they would always ask questions along the lines of: “Mallory, why do you love fashion so much?” or “Why does fashion interest you?” To which I always responded, “Clothes are considered a necessity.
