These Clothes Hide You From Surveillance Cameras

We’re not just talking about making you seem like another person, no. There’s a technology intertwined in these garments, and we’re here to tell you what they’re all about. 

Made by Italian fashion-tech startup Cap_able, this new range of knitted garments is part of their Manifesto Collection. The company describes the clothes as "wearable algorithms” that were designed to protect its wearer’s identity. 

The clothes have a system capable of adversarial patches, which refer to transposing images, which are then placed on the fabric that can deceive “people detectors” in real-time. 

Materials with an adversarial image woven into them can secure the biometric data of a person’s face. Somebody’s face when detected by a device, will be associated with an incorrect category, such as dogs, zebras, or any other animals. 

The goal of the Manifesto Collection was to raise awareness of the protection of biometric data, as well as people’s right to privacy. "Choosing what to wear is the first act of communication we perform, every day. A choice that can be the vehicle of our values," Cap_able CEO Rachele Didero explained.
