FLASHBACK COLLECTION
REFLECTIVE CLOTHING THAT TRANSFORMS YOU INTO A THERMONUCLEAR PHOTOBOMBER, 2015
CHRIS HOLMES & BETABRAND (US)
After wearing reflective clothing to several performances while touring with Paul McCartney, DJ Chris Holmes noticed that photos from those shows always looked odd, because the flash that bounced off his clothing would obscure almost everything else.
While he wasn’t thrilled that many of these photos were ruined, it inspired him to consider if he could use this technology for a greater purpose — like making paparazzi photos worthless or granting someone photographic anonymity.
That was the inspiration for the Flashback Photobomber Hoodie and Flashback Silver Screen Scarf, garments made from highly reflective material (glass nanospheres) that are perfect for anyone who doesn’t want their picture taken, or for photobombers who really want to make a lasting impression.
