Wearing face coverings became the new normal in 2020, but have you ever considered how much work designers put into some of them? The Instagram page Fashion for Bank Robbers will make you see face coverings in a whole new light, considering it showcases the collection of the most unusual pieces you can find in one place.
This Instagram page is curated by the artist Carina Shoshtary, who started it back in 2018. Fashion for Bank Robbers is dedicated to “finding and sharing the most thrilling contemporary masks/headpieces and related photography from artists around the world.”
In the last two years, Shoshtary attracted over 200,000 Instagram followers to her page and transformed it into a community for people who enjoy this unusual art form. She even discussed her passion for masks and headpieces with Vogue, and said she believes they give artists more freedom to create quirky extraordinary pieces because they’re not worn every day.
“Quirky” is the perfect word to describe most of the pieces on her Instagram page, that range from adorable and fun to truly bizarre. Shoshtary is no stranger to sharing face coverings designed by major brands, but she’s mostly using her influence to put unknown artists on the map and help them build a bigger following.
