Celebrities1 may finally have a way to ward2 off unwanted street photographers' roving camera lenses once and for all thanks to a clever new clothing collection which is designed to ruin any images taken using flash photography.
一款最新的服装系列或许可以让名人们永远地摆脱街头无处不在的狗仔队偷拍。在闪光灯亮起时,这款服装可以通过反射毁掉照片。
Paul McCartney's DJ, Chris Holmes, has
debuted3 The Anti-Paparazzi Collection, a line of reflective clothing that
intentionally4 ruins shutterbugs' highly-coveted photos by
deflecting5 the light from their cameras.
The collection includes a
hooded6 jacket, an
infinity7 scarf, and a blazer that look like everyday pieces, but
essentially8 act as a mirror when hit with bright light,
rendering9 the wearer practically invisible in flash photography.
Mr. Holmes said he was inspired to create the collection for Betabrand's Think Tank competition after he realized the reflective
outfits10 he was wearing to his performances were causing the camera flashes to bounce off his clothing and wash out the pictures.
'While I wasn't thrilled that many of these photos were ruined because of my clothing, it gave me the epiphany that perhaps I could use this technology for a greater purpose,' he wrote on the site.
'That's what lead me to create the Anti-Paparazzi Collection, which uses reflective threads to render paparazzi-shot photos worthless - perfect for those who don't want their picture taken.
The contest allows voters to decide which clothing items deserve to be funded and made.
The Anti-Paparazzi Collection is currently unavailable for purchase, but fans have 20 more days to vote for the item of their choice in the hopes that it will eventually make it onto shelves.
