Apparel with Attitude
Look good, mess with the system. Faception Reloaded is more than just a bold graphic tee – it's a wearable glitch in the matrix. While the design reads as abstract art to us humans, facial recognition AIs pick up on it as… well, faces. It's fashion with a hidden function.

material and quality
The statement Sweatshirt is made from 100% organically grown cotton and produced according to the standards of the Fair Wear Foundation. With a fabric weight of 350g/m², it’s incredibly comfortable, and the oversize fit gives you a super relaxed look.
cleverer print
The print is crafted to mimic the patterns facial recognition systems look for – like spacing, contrast, and pixel structure. To the machine eye, it's face after face after face. To you? Just a dope design with a message.
FAQ
Wash your statement tee at a maximum of 30°C and without bleach. Do not tumble dry, and iron it on the lowest setting and inside out.
This will help the fabric and print last as long as possible.
The Statement T-shirt was printed using screen printing by our regional partner.
Can the print protect me from facial recognition?
The pattern is designed to confuse automated facial recognition algorithms in the initial phase of the detection process by flooding the system with extra "false" faces (False Positives). It does not offer 100% protection, and the effect varies depending on the specific system, lighting, and distance.
Does the pattern make me invisible?
No. Your face remains visible to both humans and cameras. The pattern only complicates automated identification by AI systems. If you want to be hardly identified by automatic systems, you would need to add physical coverage (e.g., a hood or a scarf pulled up). This combination makes both biometric analysis and visual identification significantly harder.
Which systems have you tested?
We do not have access to proprietary systems like Palantir or government-grade software, so we cannot test against them. Our testing is based on open-source solutions like OpenCV Face Cascade and common recognition frameworks. This means: Effectiveness against commercial or state-level systems is not guaranteed.
How many "fake" faces does the AI detect?
It varies depending on the algorithm and image quality. In our tests, the system often detects beside your own faces, several additional face boxes around the print. The goal isn't to "stop" the AI, but to overload it with data so that accurate identification becomes difficult.
Is the pattern effective forever?
No. Facial recognition algorithms evolve rapidly. A pattern that works today might be bypassed tomorrow. We regularly update our designs, but we cannot guarantee long-term effectiveness.
