In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, face masks became a public health necessity. However, they were also quickly adopted by fashion. Designers, including Michael Kaye, turned their production to making masks. His poppy-printed style alludes to the era of the 1918 flu pandemic when these flowers marked the death of World War I soldiers.
