ONE MUST AS SURELY WEAR A FACE-MASK THESE DAYS, AS THEY WOULD WEAR CLOTHES. WITH THE INEVITABILITY OF A SHOE, AND THE WASHING CYCLE OF A PAIR OF UNDERWEAR- THIS NEWLY ESSENTIAL ACCESSORY HAS SHIFTED FROM A SURGICAL PRECAUTION TO AN INTIMATE, DAILY PROSTHETIC. HOW DOES ONE ADDRESS THIS FACADE, WHICH HAS VIRTUALLY REPLACED THE LOWER HALF OF THE HUMAN FACE IN PUBLIC SETTINGS? HOW DOES ONE TURN THIS FILTER INTO A CROWN?

FASHION TRUST ARABIA AND CREATIVE SPACE BEIRUT SCHOOL OF DESIGN CAME TOGETHER TO ADDRESS THIS QUESTION. THEY DEVISED A COMPETITION FOR CSB STUDENTS TO BE CRITICAL AND IMAGINATIVE ABOUT FACE-MASK DESIGN, WHILE MAINTAINING EXTREME REVERENCE TO CLINICAL PRECAUTIONS. THIS YIELDED A DRIVEN COLLECTIVE STUDY ON FUNCTIONAL AESTHETICS. 

Goodkill is a RTW label created by CSB-SD Alumni, Hazem Kais. Since graduating in 2017, Hazem honed in on his particular talent with textures and fabrication, and continued to explore new techniques and experiment with materials, culminating in GOODKILL - a bold label that produces genderless, free-form, and functional designs with an experimental edge. Focusing on fine textiles and innovative techniques, every piece is made to last.
