Louis Vuitton’s $1K face shield is certainly a sign of the times; for fashion forward folk who also happen to be astute sifters of media chaos, the necessary accessory puts a slickly urbane spin on the stress of sharing existence with a viral nasty that ain’t goin’ nowhere short of a laboratory breakthrough.
Jacob & Co. has an answer for the glamour-puss who needs a little additional glamour, though: a diamond-woven face mask. The creative accessory looks ideal for wealthy fashionistas and well-paid surgeons.
This kind of protection costs—the accessory comes with a quarter million-dollar price tag—but it also comes with over 3,000 diamonds set into a framework of white gold. It weighs 157 grams in all, an astounding matrix of precious metal and stone that may not provide much protection, but will certainly get you noticed.
