Digital SARS folk art, Exhibit C: Designer virus, designer masks.


Original SARS couture designs from the Philippines:

"Len Nepomuceno-Guiao embellished hers with beads for glam cocktail wear. Eddie Baddeo put Swarovski stones and dangling beads for that Tessa Prieto-Valdes look while Rhett Eala used denim rhinestones for casual chic.

It should be pointed out that these designer creations do not meet World Health Organization standards for filtering out particles the size of 0.3 microns. No one is sure how big the droplet causing SARS is, so better to wear your designer mask over the N95 surgical mask."
