A fashion designer has produced a very on-trend piece inspired by the global pandemic - a dress with a built-in face mask.
Dee Izmail, 56, from London, who was behind some of the most iconic outfits worn by the Spice Girls, has unveiled a new collection which includes the £195 white bodycon.
It features a face mask as part of an exaggerated collar, and is currently for sale on Etsy - and with the coverings coming into force in more public spaces from tomorrow, it's set to be a sell out.
Dee, who designed Mel B's leopard print catsuits, Geri's red PVC numbers and Victoria's bikini tops, said her new dress is also designed to raise awareness for Kawasaki disease - a condition where blood vessels become inflamed - which has increased recently.

Her daughter Nadia, 27, suffered from it as a youngster, and with cases on the rise, it is thought it could be linked to coronavirus.
Dee, who founded charity, Kawasaki Disease UK, said: 'My natural instinct was to create an edgy bodycon piece that also makes people stop and think; a piece that is not just an everyday basic garment.
'I feel pleased that I did, and that I was able to help campaign for my charity. I hope this helps remind people they must wear their masks.'
Kawasaki Disease is an inflammatory disease mainly affecting children. It impacts the arteries in the heart, and can be fatal without fast treatment.

The design of the Covid Dress was influenced by Dee's signature 90s clubwear which was well-loved by the Spice Girls.
The band famous for its girl power mantra donned over 80 of Dee's pieces throughout the Nineties, cementing her as one of the top club wear designers of the era.
One hundred per cent of the proceeds from the sales of the Covid Dress are going to charity. It's also available to buy at https://www.kawasakidiseaseuk.org/
