Disney Unveils Mickey, Star Wars & Marvel Face Masks

/

As the U.S. continues its fight against the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, Disney unveiled a wide selection of cloth face masks that feature some of the entertainment conglomerate’s most popular characters.

Offered in packs of four with sizes in small, medium and large, Disney’s cloth face masks follow the FDA’s recommendations on non-surgical, non-industrial grade face masks. The selection has a design for everyone — fans of Star Wars can pick up Baby Yoda and R2-D2 face masks, while those leaning more towards the MCU have the option putting on the Hulk’s iconic green mouth or a simpler logo-embellished mask. Classic Disney characters round up the new set, with the prominent Mickey and Minnie Mouse arriving in both colorful and monochromatic options.

Profits of up to $1 million USD from the sale of these masks will be given to MedShare, and Disney will be donating 1 million cloth face masks for children and families in vulnerable communities across the U.S.

Disney’s cloth face masks are available now for pre-order on the official Disney online store for $20 USD a pack.

Heron Preston FW20 Menswear

Heron Preston FW20: We’re living in strange times, between hope and despair. We are questioning our consciousness, core beliefs and ideas and asking ourselves: ‘What the fuck are we doing?’

It’s too easy to put up with what’s damaging – it’s time to use our ingenuity to create a better world and a healthy environment.

The phrase It’s All Good, It’s All Fucked, is taken from Juliana Spahr’s critically acclaimed book, That Winter The Wolf Came, described as ‘a revelation of the possibilities for resistance in the present’.

“Look at the world as the largest construction zone that we've ever witnessed, it's like a work in progress,” says Preston. “It’s this idea of picking apart and putting it back together in better ways with new solutions, innovations and new technologies. Using your brain to imagine a better world and then designing that into reality.”

The fashion industry is one such place where entrenched systems and narratives are being challenged. It’s where we can begin. Workwear, a passion of Heron Preston for its integrity and sense of purpose, is worn by doers. It is the most authentic form of streetwear, seen everywhere from the mail-carrier to the sanitation department worker.

FW20 includes recycled nylons, thermo-sealed GORE-TEX suiting, guaranteed waterproof and breatheable; cordura puffers; functional pockets on dressed-up tailoring and waterproof zipper details. Waffled denim is inspired by Japanese construction worker outfits and wool felt has a touch-reactive membrane. Women’s footwear features a spirit-level heel. Informed choices are our intention going forward, with HPC navigating certified materials and practices through constantly improving traceability. Preston’s collection in-a- collection, Uniform, is additionally a dedicated space for research, experimentation and development around sustainability.

A Note from Carine:

I hope this note finds you safe and well. As you may know, last June I began a dream that I’ve long had: to launch my very own runway show, CR Runway.

We would like to use our runway to create a platform to benefit research on and the fight against COVID-19. This year’s CR Runway will be entirely digital. CR Runway with amfAR Against COVID-19 will debut online on Friday, May 1 as the world’s first fashion show of its kind. With safety as our foremost concern, CR Runway with amfAR Against COVID-19 will be created remotely from all around the world. My team and I will collaborate directly with each talent on everything from fashion to hair, makeup, nails, and choreography direction so that every model can film herself “walking” from the comfort of her own home. These videos will be edited together to form a complete digital runway show which will be streamed on Friday, May 1.

In these times of uncertainty, our support for one another has never been so crucial. We must do what we can to help—not only in material efforts but also with our platforms and through our actions. I’ve always believed in the power of inspiration — it’s one of the founding reasons behind CR Fashion Book— and I know that we can use the runway to really make a difference. I look forward to your participation in CR Runway with amfAR Against COVID-19 and your help in bringing hope and inspiration to the hard-working scientists and others engaged in this fight.

Sincerely,

Carine

Derek Blasberg will host the world’s first virtual fashion show which airs on YouTube this Friday, May 1, 2020 at 1:00 PM Los Angeles / 4:00 PM New York / 9:00 PM London / 10:00 PM Paris. ⁣

Reese Cooper FW20 Menswear

For Fall / Winter 2020, designer Reese Cooper asks himself the existential question: “If a tree falls does it make a sound?”

Following on from his award as CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund runner-up, Cooper’s next chapter confirms his core inspirations—vintage Americana fused with the great outdoors and his impressive sustainability goals. The designer embraces an elevated technical approach and combines it with the brand’s sustainable fabrics - such as knitwear made from cotton and recycled paper and a new denim wash technique called Wiser Wash® that utilizes less than one cup of water.


The collection is by far his largest to date and features an array of bespoke fabrics including a waterproof forest scene; embroidered foliage; and custom camouflage—all designed in-house.
