But this is a trend rooted very much so in the everyday. Model, designer, and creative Ella Emhoff has turned her knitting passion into a blossoming business. She sells a variety of handmade balaclavas, along with other knits, to hungry shoppers on the regular. And a number of independent knitwear brands, such as Mask On NYC and, sell handmade ones, too. It’s as if we’ve all emerged from COVID-19 lockdowns clinging to the partial obscurity N95 face masks offered.
Below, seven balaclava-lovers from across New York talk about their enduring love for this season’s buzziest winter accessory. I am a sustainable upcyclist that loves transforming fashion through clothes! I love creating couture one-of-one pieces that nobody’s ever seen before! I love hiding my identity. I actually got contacted by a stylist to style someone for Lil Uzi’s “Just Wanna Rock” video and that’s when I made the “Sequence Devil Horn Balaclava,” because it reminded me of Uzi’s style and approach to fashion! I added the horns to the mask, because it adds a costume/cosplay edge to the piece making it more fun and playful which describes my personality 100 %.
