The fashionable and trend-setting camouflage clothing for men and women that can be seen almost everywhere nowadays was never meant to be a fashion statement. In fact, army camo clothing was created out of sheer necessity.
During World War II, the French eagerly sought a way to conceal their forces from the enemy while in forests and other wooded areas. As a result, they commissioned two artists, known as camoufleurs, to create a pattern that would allow their troops blend in seamlessly with the forest environment. It goes without saying that the design was a success, and was instrumental in bringing down the axis of evil.
Now, camouflage has matured far beyond it’s military origins can has inspired an entire cultural movement which celebrates the country or outdoor lifestyle. In addition to this, camouflage has inspired the creation of a variety of camo odds and ends, some odder than others. Here are just a few.
