In April 2019, Project Runway aired an episode in which contestants were challenged to come up with a “head-to-toe” look.
One designer, named Kovid Kapoor, presented a detailed 3D appliqué suit with a matching face mask.
The eery coincidence of a contestant literally named Kovid making an outfit with a matching face mask less than a year before COVID-19 hit the U.S. was not lost on TikTok or Twitter, where a clip of the episode went viral and begged the question: what did Project Runway know in 2019 that we didn’t?
