Virgil Abloh and Off-White™ announces a collaboration with the leading academic medical center Cleveland Clinic. The Los Angeles-based green production shop Suay will handle the production of the new hand wash, hang dry mask. All proceeds from sales are directed toward supporting COVID-19-related research at the Cleveland Clinic’s Center for Global and Emerging Pathogens.
The masks were released for purchase on December 9th, 2020 on [Canary Yellow](https://gallery.canary---yellow.com/products/abloh-x-suay-facemasks-2020?variant=37679911338176).

The production of the masks also focuses on a sustainable process. At Suay, everything is made from post-consumer waste and deadstock integrated with domestically and organically grown fibers.
“In the grand scheme of things, projects like these are when fashion is the most important,” says Virgil Abloh. Off-White™ also made a monetary donation to the center, along with creating limited edition t-shirts that read “I Support Our HealthCare Heroes”. The T-shirts were donated to all Cleveland Clinic’s staff.
