You could wait until September and get a vaccine against the H1N1 virus, also known as the swine flu… or you could get hip and protect yourself right now in one of Unit’s face masks or respirators.
Unit Clothing of Australia shows us one of its models demonstrating the ‘Lay Flat’ mask in a cold storage, surrounded by carcasses of freshly-slaughtered pigs.
Unit Clothing model in 'Lay Flat' mask
Unit Creative Director, Paul Everest said the concept built upon growing unrest surrounding the virus.
“2009 has seen us truly enter ‘The Age of Panic’,” said Everest. “Our range is influenced by our surroundings and society’s progression – face masks and respirators are the next logical step.”
“We are living in perhaps the most incredible time of human existence — financial crises, terrorism threats, superpowers crumbling, fossil fuel warfare, prescription drug empires, global warming, separate internet realities and now the very real threat of a global pandemic,” he added.
“Unit is ensuring we are well prepared for what may lay around the corner, and our core consumers will look great doing it.”
The action sports brand’s ‘Lay flat’ face masks retail for AUD 14.95 (USD 11.65) , while the coloured ‘H1′ respirators are AUD 79.95 (USD 62.35).
Check out UnitRiders, as Everest says, the products are “accessible to all regardless of location.”
