Todaya€™s New York Times includes an article on the efforts of Aya Tsukioka, an a€oeexperimental fashion designer,a€A to allay Japana€™s growing fears about street crime by creating a new line of clothes and accessories that double as urban camouflage. In a moment of panic, you can transform your dress into a vending machine, your backpack into a fire hydrant, and your purse into a manhole cover. The idea is for the people who wear these clothes to hide in plain sight when they feel threatened, evading their would-be attacker.
