Clothing that shields Facial Recognition

I just came across a really interesting product.
This Italian company is making flamboyant-looking clothes which defeat facial recognition without masks. They look very old-school, kinda mid 80s, but I’m kinda loving it.


It’s from an Italian fashion start-up called Cap_able & this is the Manifesto Collection. https://www.capable.design/
The clothes are knitted and come in all kinds of cool patterns that actually trick facial recognition software into identifying you as an animal instead of a human! How cool is that? It’s like having a secret identity without even trying.
I think they are using technology in such a creative way to solve a privacy problem.
What do you guys think?

The CCP updated its facial-recognition software after China enforced masking in public such that the software could then recognize people even when they are wearing masks. I suppose that the CCP eventually could overcome this trickery, too. Still, I love this creative approach to controlling customers’ privacy!
