This has been around a bit, but we can’t not do something on Aya Tsukioka’s clothing designs for people scared of crime.
First reported in the New York Times last week, they include a costume the same size and shape as a street vending machine that you can use as urban camouflage; a purse that looks like a manhole cover that you can leave on the street; and a child’s backpack that allow wearers to disguise themselves fire extinguishers.

If there’s stuff in the purse, it will be noticeable. I find these all a little silly.

A little silly?

i think it would be cool if there was a tree one =]

Deanna,
It won’t be noticeable as it is a pancake/record purse only.

The best from Barcelona.
Son.

The vending machines works well. What do you get if you put some money in it?

It’s cute that it’s been designed for those “in fear of crime”.
But I think I like the work for it’s silliness as well (if silly is the right word).
I agree a tree would be cool (but maybe harder to replicate than mechanical items);
Maybe she could try this in other coutries if it does not infringe on copyright laws!?
What is the orange box anyway? Is it a telephone booth? (Sorry, I’ve never been)
