After eight long weeks of lockdown, as of May 11, restrictions have finally started to lift in France. We’re allowed to go out without an attestation de déplacement (permission slip) as long as we are under 100km from our homes. Public gatherings of up to 10 people are allowed, but face masks are compulsory in certain places including on public transport, in schools, some shops, and even at my hairdresser’s! So if we have to wear masks, why not have some fun with it?
French designers have started creating face masks to fight shortages and help essential workers get the protective gear they need. And, to keep their businesses afloat during this difficult time. So get your hands on a fashionable face mask made in France! By doing so, you can also help those in need and support local small businesses. Head to HiP Paris Blog for some of my favorite French designers injecting some joy into the wearing of face masks.
