A Croatian fashion designer, Zoran Aragovic, owner of the BiteMyStlye brand, has launched a “cheerful collection” of protective face mask amid the global panic over the novel coronavirus outbreak.
According to a report by APF, Zoran said that “the idea for a designer mask was spontaneous”.
“Every morning while having coffee we were commenting on the coronavirus and lack of masks.
“I was joking that I would make a colourful, cheerful mask, like my fashion creations, and put it on my Instagram”.
The 39-year-old from Zagreb believes that the best way to wade off the scare about Coronavirus was to create positive items like clothes.
He said that “these are not medical masks but cheerful fashion accessories”.
