The collection, FLASHBACK, includes jackets, suits, hats, and scarves that are so reflective only the clothes come out in flash photography, seeming to hang off of a dark human-shaped shadow. The highly reflective aspect is a bit of a winner here: Betabrand collaborated with DJ Chris Holmes to take this self-reflective idea beyond just a scarf. Instead of using, as the painted images present, boxes of cigarettes and their own sleeves, they could try the ISHU anti-paparazzi scarf, which retails for $376, is made from a highly reflective material that renders any high flash photo essentially useless, and would fit right into their oversized bohemian aesthetic.
Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen could give Leo a run for this money, though – their way of hiding has literally been uplifted to an art form, in an exhibit that debuted in April of this year, curated by two UCB alum, Matt Harkins and Viviana Olen. The shirt Nick Knight made Kate Moss, without (L) and with flash (R). You can pick up the top yourself for $80. It holds a secret explicit-laden message that only appears in the face of a paparazzi camera flash. There’s the anti-paparazzi t-shirt designed by photographer Nick Knight for Kate Moss and her young teenage daughter when they were followed by several male photographers at the airport. Perhaps instead of going for big, giant jackets and umbrellas Leo should look to the future and invest in some paparazzi-confounding tech. Although, being famous for hiding just really demonstrates how bad you are at hiding in the first place.
In fact, Oscar winner Leonardo DiCaprio is famous for his attempts to avoid them. After all, they can’t all be like Kanye West, the new best friend to paparazzi – sharing Ubers with and hugging them and shaking hands with the French version thereof.
