You Only Look Once

YOU ONLY LOOK ONCE EXISTS AT THE INTERSECTION OF CLOTHING AND COUNTER-SURVEILLANCE. BORN FROM THE GROWING PRESENCE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND DATA COLLECTION, THESE PIECES REFRAME GARMENTS AS PROTECTIVE SYSTEMS RATHER THAN PASSIVE OBJECTS. BY UTILIZING DISRUPTIVE PRINTS AND EXPERIMENTAL MATERIALS THAT CONFUSE FACIAL RECOGNITION SOFTWARE, THERMAL CAMERAS, AND PHOTOGRAPHIC FLASHES, EACH PIECE UNDERMINES THE MECHANICS OF OBSERVATION. THE RESULT IS A QUIET ACT OF RESISTANCE: WEARABLE FORMS THAT SHIELD, DEFLECT, AND ULTIMATELY RESTORE POWER TO THE INDIVIDUAL.
