At first glance, the patterns look like something out of a 90s sitcom, but Didero says it's a wearable algorithm to protect your privacy. The Italian start-up recently selected Trunc, a Black and Veteran owned boutique in Northern Liberties, to be its first store in the*world to sell the garments, which include t-shirts, pants to sweaters.

And that's the mission of Cap_able Clothing. Didero says she wants to raise awareness of the right to privacy and protection of biometric data.Pedestrian struck, killed in deadly Kensington hit-and-run: VIDEO
