The desire for new shoes or handbags has suddenly been replaced in recent days by the desire for a simple face mask, which has become a scarce commodity. Fortunately, we can make this protective aid ourselves, and one of the great tutorials is offered by the multi‑talented Lukáš Kimlička.
Lukáš Kimlička has admittedly hung up fashion design as his professional focus, but that does not mean that sketching and working at the sewing machine no longer come to him as skillfully as they did years ago.
The skills he acquired were therefore used by the well‑known fashion guru to help people make masks themselves at home in these difficult times.
In addition, the renowned photographer and make‑up artist poured out his feelings during the pictorial tutorial.
“What saddens me most is that messages of the type “zas je celý Instagram zaspamovaný #ruskoniejehanba. Tak pokud má mít nějaký spam význam a smysl, tak je to tento! Přesně toto je význam sociálních sítí. Velmi mnoho lidí z Čech mi včera psalo, že tam roušku nenosí skoro nikdo a pokud ho někdo i má, tak na něj dívají jako na idiota. Všichni dobře víme, jak v Čechách momentálně dopadly …, ” he reflected, according to whom influential influencers should at least in these days, instead of posting discount codes and paid nonsense, spread good awareness. ,“At least once they would do something useful for all of us,” he said.
At the end of the post the admired nice guy added a few more words to his mask‑making instructions.
“You ask whether the filter will survive high washing temperatures. I don’t know. But maybe it would be better to sew it so that the filter can simply be inserted and replaced. So I still have to tune that. If you don’t have elastics at home like I do, I used the elastic from bra straps. I found one at home from a photoshoot, so it did the job,” Lukáš shared advice that people immediately adopted and began adding photos of masks sewn according to his instructions, and of course they did not spare words of praise.
