Designer Gas Mask by Diddo Velema

Just because the apocalyptic scenario of a bioterror attack is (always) around the corner, it doesn’t mean that you have to sacrifice fashion for safety. Behold the designer gas masks by Diddo Velema:

Deep down, we are afraid we may never be satisfied. An expanding archive of branded myths and icons feeds this fear. Designer Gas Masks is an attempt to visualize this state of mind. Because it is only by first acknowledging and then challenging fear that we will all be able to breathe a little easier.

Um… correct me if I’m wrong but… aren’t certain precious metals highly reactive to toxic compounds. Like… gold probably doesn’t stand up to mustard gas quite as well as synthetics… looks like the poor really will inherit the earth! HA!

Look on the bright side; you can always loot it from their dying corpse as they gasp for air finding out that their Gucci oxygen tank has malfunctioned.

I always wonder if these artist/designers are like TV evangelists? Do they actually believe in the crap they spew, or are they just laughing their ass off on the way to the bank.

Wow. that’s a blast from the past. Had he made any new designs over the years, or is this just a nostalgic visit?
