Safety For All

Vivienne Tam is adding some colors, fun and a lot of positive energy to the new normal of 2020 with her Fashion Happy Mask Collection!

As the COVID19 global pandemic unfolds, masks have become the most important must-have accessories in our daily lives, and Vivienne Tam is inspired to make it more stylish.

Wearing the same monotonous masks every day is taking away characteristics from people amidst a dispirited atmosphere.

“When I get dressed in the morning with mask on, I felt that I am missing something that matches my outfits. So I thought of all the beautiful printed fabrics I have in my collection and created these exclusive fashion masks that injects individuality, making both the wearer and watcher happy,” said designer Vivienne Tam.

Designed with sustainability and zero-waste concept in mind, Tam’s team crafted the reusable masks by cutting the fabrics at the same time as she trims her dresses, making each piece of mask unique.

The 3D structure enhances breathability, while the lightweight and stretchy materials translates into comfort.

Complete your daily outfit with a VT Fashion Happy Mask in this season of creativity!

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that 1.8 million more non-farm jobs were added in July, and the unemployment rate fell even further from June, where it was at 11.1 percent, now fell 0.9 percent to 10.2 percent.

Though, both jobs and unemployment rates continued on a positive note, addendums on both ends slowed dramatically from June due to COVID19 cases rising, and states reversing or pausing their reopening efforts to stop the virus from spreading even further.

Despite notable job gains in July occurred in sectors of leisure and hospitality, government, retail trade, professional and business services, other services, and health care, who have been on the frontlines since the start of the pandemic, weekly unemployment numbers continue to be staggering, another 1.1 million filed for unemployment last week, with 55 million jobless in the past 20 weeks.

The United States Department Of Labor delivered staggering unemployment numbers once again, calculated at 1,186,000, but significantly lower from last week by 249,000, breaking the 2 week unemployment increase which last week inched up to 1,435,000, plus 55 million have filed for unemployment in 20 weeks since March when COVID19 was declared a pandemic.

The insured unemployment rate also dropped too last week by 0.6 percent to 11 percent, and those receiving unemployment insurance dropped significantly for the time being under 17 million to 16,107,000, as some states still wrestle with reopening procedures under COVID19.

As businesses across the country still move heaven and earth to survive COVID19 by pivoting to sustainable models to keep the lights on, bringing wealth back to the United States is very key during this pandemic.
