Check out these novelty masks supposedly from Diddo Velema in collaboration with Gucci and Louis Vuitton. These jewel encrusted, monogram basted pieces will assure the survival of the richest the day someone decides to push the button.
Editor’s Note: Diddo Velema contacted us to clarify a few things. The gas masks were created purely as an art project to highlight the underlying societal climate that demands consumption, and not an official collaboration of any sorts. More information can be seen through the Diddo Velema website and through a note seen below.
Designer Gas Masks is a conceptual art project. The masks are not real commercial products. They are designed to be displayed in magazines and exhibited at galleries. They are not for sale. The brands used to visualize the concept have been done so without their permission. However, as the artist, I am not responsible for any copyright infringements that may result from the publication/display of the masks.
