World 35: Covid-21, a more severe deadly version of Covid-19 where special protective hazmat suits must be worn for your safety! This has resulted in an increase in environmental disasters; therefore, the outside world is unsafe for natural habitation and breathing. Clothing is now bought and sold digitally, and for your own personal benefit. The conditions have meant that clothes are now only worn online, as sourcing physical clothing is next to impossible, which has led to the virtual world of online avatars. This poster expresses the need and importance of specialised safety suits. The Instagram account shows the world of online clothing styles. This famous influencer account has thousands of followers and is a physical representative of a person surviving and maintaining a level of normality in an unnormal situation.
