As the Zika virus continues to spread across the Americas, two designers have created a fashionable line of clothing laced with insect repellent that aims to help moms-to-be protect themselves from the virus. The clothing line includes jumpsuits, maxi skirts, and scarves, and uses a safe insect repellent designed to protect the wearer from more than 40 types of insects. While the line’s price range has yet to be determined, the designers are choosing to provide some clinics with free clothing and offering others subsidized prices that U.S buyers will help pay for. An initial batch of T-shirts has already been distributed, and the full clothing line is expected to debut in late-October.
