What is the Disguised Accessorizing 2.0 trend?

Disguised Accessorizing 2.0: Duality within one's personality is a concept as old as Greek mythology; it has since evolved beyond acceptance and into the realm of glamorization, particularly within the fashion industry. In the past, disguised accessorizing referred specifically to masks as a means of indulging in escapism. Current forms of disguise in fashion include concealed secrets, adding fuel to the idea that privacy, even in an over-communicated world, is intriguing.
