What this year has certainly seen is a handful of magnificent masks that have lent a finishing touch to each and every shoot.
Be it the glossy mags or high-fashion runways, masks have helped enhance the look from stylish to haute and dapper. From punk masks to bejeweled or lace masks, dozens of styles and designs have been used in the haute high-fashion shoots and runways. Lady Gaga is known for her over-the-top mask accessories and that may have lent a hand at the masquerade theme ruling this year.
It's not only the ladies that adorn these facial enhancements, but many male models have been shot in leather masks too. The new year will have fashionistas sporting spectacular masks all around town.
