Dare I say this new normal ain’t too tough. It is a time to restrain ourselves and slowdown from the ever-prevalent expectations of 2020. Simmering thoughts of Where to go? What to post? How to engage? and most importantly who is watching? seem trivial as we embark on figuring what we really need: cocktails, coffee, and cigarettes… Design is still an important factor in our everyday, as a colorful and stylish way to cope in this new reality. With that in mind we do have to still engage with the world after all, Le Supermarket is the newest and hottest club, everyone is waiting in line (I got the plug though, I know the door man). Here is a selection of fun gear to dress up as you embark into Da New World.

KkCo has utilized their stylish take of the face mask with the addition to the brands signature utility lanyard cords for an effective tool in combating the bad virus with the assistance of 3M filters. The brand also taught us all a DIY hack mentioning, “ The filter is a 3M air conditioning filter that you can purchase from Home Depot or Target. When sewing your fabric mask, create a pocket or leave an opening at the top for your filter to be inserted.“
