Beautiful, shiny, mysterious and simple but elegant all come to mind when you explore for yourself the hottest trends of the much beloved mask.

These fabulous new styles in the Paris shows have a mysterious effect, some are obscuring, some with hoods, some with hats and the occasional drape of fabric, and some even are off focus of the most popular radiant faces of the models who wear them. Designs of these new styled masks are purely symbolic, but here in New Orleans they become very practical. That's right, you are always in style with masks for all occasions. You are also in style if you have a mask for every costume you select.

Just how much meaning should be read into fashion has always been a total matter of debate. Truth be told, clothes have always reflected the exuberance, the tradition of the age, and in some years even the chaos of the moment. Here at Razzle Dazzle we believe that masks can both sense and influence.

Impulses of the new jazz age, these heralded masks of mystic gives shape and substance to beauty, strange textures, feathers and all light up in the night life of New Orleans. With so many events that center around mystery intrigue and just plain fun, why not mask. No distractions from the event at hand!

Masks in New Orleans are like dressing your body with clothes. Dressing the face in New Orleans is not just limited to a few occasions such as Halloween or Carnival. And then there is Lady GaGa of course, who makes the ultimate facial mask statement at every opportunity. So, to keep in fashion and move with the trend, you are invited right now to come to Razzle Dazzle at 524 Royal and "Get Masked" before the next event tonight.
