Although fashion is often frivolous, the face mask designs incorporated into Qiadan Yin Peng's sportswear collection at Mercedes Benz China Fashion Week are indicative of a growing concern for environmental and personal health issues.

Since smog continues to be a problem in major Asian cities, face masks have become accessories that are mandatory for the maintenance of good health. Blending form and function, the designs created are suited to match each outfit, covering the nose and mouth, or sometimes even the entire face. As air pollution continues to be a growing concern around the world, at least wearable air filtration systems like these mean that people will be able to breathe easy and do it with the utmost style.
