*U.S. artist showcasing 'Stealth Wear' clothing range at London boutique
*Conceived in response to use of military-style surveillance on civilians
*He jokes his target market will be the 'fashionably paranoid'
Those concerned about the conspiratorial machinations of the state surveillance infrastructure can now swap their tin-foil hats for a more fashion conscious accessory.
A New York-based artist has designed an 'anti-drone hoodie' stitched from metallised material used to counter the infra-red cameras that spy drones use to spot people on the ground.
It is part of a line of high-tech 'Stealth Wear' that can thwart cameras and block tracking signals, which has been unveiled in London this week.
Also on offer is a pouch for carrying mobile phones made from a special 'attenuating fabric' which blocks the signal so it can't be tracked or intercepted by the authorities.
And there is also a shirt designed with an x-ray shielding print in the shape of a heart which is intended to protect the wearer's heart from damaging x-ray radiation.
