[Self-defence clothing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxurious-safety-bracelet) is becoming more commonplace nowadays as consumers opt-in for it as a means to feel safe in their environment—even when they find themselves walking home at night out on the town. The American start-up Angel Guard Fashion is betting on this trend, designing items that "aim to deter attacks, whilst creating fashion-friendly statements." The self-defence clothing lines include various pieces like dresses, belts, [work jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shielding-jacket), and so on. In addition, the products are made out of 100% Vietnamese silk which is painted and made by hand.

About the ethos of the brand, founder Brooke Hart, shares: “There are currently no items, especially in the fashion field, which provide the [fast response system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/protector-app) and multiple layers of defence that Angel Guard Fashion does. Most defence items are specialized or impractical for the fast response that is needed in an attack.”
