发明：反狗仔偷拍服让名人“隐形”

Celebrities may finally have a way to ward off unwanted street photographers' roving camera lenses once and for all thanks to a clever new clothing collection which is designed to ruin any images taken using flash photography.

一款最新的服装系列或许可以让名人们永远地摆脱街头无处不在的狗仔队偷拍。在闪光灯亮起时，这款服装可以通过反射毁掉照片。

Paul McCartney's DJ, Chris Holmes, has debuted The Anti-Paparazzi Collection, a line of reflective clothing that intentionally ruins shutterbugs' highly-coveted photos by deflecting the light from their cameras.

保罗·麦卡特尼（Paul McCartney）的DJ克里斯·福尔摩斯（Chris Holmes）首次发布了这款反狗仔服装系列。这个反光系列服装可以通过使照相机的光线偏离，达到反偷拍的效果。

The collection includes a hooded jacket, an infinity scarf, and a blazer that look like everyday pieces, but essentially act as a mirror when hit with bright light, rendering the wearer practically invisible in flash photography.

这个系列包括带帽夹克、围巾和运动上衣，它们看上去和普通服饰没什么两样。但是遇到强光照射时，它们就像镜子一样，让穿衣人在闪光灯下“隐形”。

Mr. Holmes said he was inspired to create the collection for Betabrand's Think Tank competition after he realized the reflective outfits he was wearing to his performances were causing the camera flashes to bounce off his clothing and wash out the pictures.

福尔摩斯先生说，他是从“Betabrand智囊团”的比赛中得到灵感的。他意识到，他在展示时身着的反射服装能反射照相机的闪光并把照片图像损毁。

'While I wasn't thrilled that many of these photos were ruined because of my clothing, it gave me the epiphany that perhaps I could use this technology for a greater purpose,' he wrote on the site.

他在网上写道，“我并不担心许多照片都会因我的服装而损毁，相反它给了我灵感——或许我可以让这个发明有更多用处。”

'That's what lead me to create the Anti-Paparazzi Collection, which uses reflective threads to render paparazzi-shot photos worthless - perfect for those who don't want their picture taken.

“那是促使我发明反狗仔服装系列的动力。它使用反射闪光的方式让狗仔偷拍失败。对那些不希望被偷拍的人来说，这太棒了。

The contest allows voters to decide which clothing items deserve to be funded and made.
