A Cornell-educated artist and sculptor has come up with a highly bizarre,
but probably very effective, 'personal space' creating dress.

Kathleen McDermott, who is currently based in Hong Kong, designed the
motorized dress after experiencing repeated instances of men crowding her on
public transportation networks.

The ruffled pink and white creation doesn't spring out suddenly in the
fashion of an umbrella, as it looks like it might, but rather senses a looming
presence, and slowly expands outwards.

'So I began to look for ways women could take more ownership over their
personal space in public.'
“因此我开始寻求一些方法，可以让女性在公共场合保持一定的私人空间。”
Ms McDermott built the dress herself and used 'proximity sensors' to
identify when a lurker gets too close for comfort, and plastic scaffolding
within the garment to enable the hemline to expand.
麦克德莫特女士亲手做出了这个连衣裙，她在裙子里用了“近距离传感器” 以防有不轨之徒过分靠近，并且在衣服下安装了塑料支架，确保裙边可以展开扩大。

dealt with worse in busy, thriving cities around the world.

covers trains and buses, revealed that one in five riders say they've been
sexually harassed in the past month.
