Japanese designer Aya Tsukioka is so concerned with safety that she has designed the ultimate item for urban camouflage. The skirt folds out in to a vending machine (above) to hide from potential attackers. There is also a backpack which unfolds to look like a Japanese fire hydrant. It seems like quite an extreme measure to go to, I think the backpack is actually quite cool. Not sure if the vending machine skirt would catch on or not, maybe the quirky idea could be adapted in London to make you look like a London Lite paper distributer? or an oyster card machine?
