Though street crime is relatively low in Japan, quirky camouflage designs like this vending-machine dress are being offered to an increasingly anxious public to hide from would-be assailants.
Seems like our neighbors under the red sun, have thought of another yet more intriguing piece of fashion which may actually protect us. Yeah, it looks funny at first glance and the idea seems bizarre but, just think of how it would be to actually avoid being the victim of a crime in which the after affects may possibly alter the way you live and think in life, not too funny is it? Rape victim or whatever the case may be. Depending on where you reside, this article of clothing really just might save your life, seriously!
Another interesting fashion concept is the “manhole bag,” a purse that can hide valuables by unfolding to look like a sewer cover. Lay it on the street with your wallet inside, and unwitting thieves are supposed to walk right by. There is also a line of knife-proof high school uniforms made with the same material as Kevlar, and a book with tips on how to dress even the nerdiest children like “pseudohoodlums” to fend off schoolyard bullies.
