I remember when I was younger it was the "in" thing for a while to wear faux camouflage. If you are going to have army-inspired clothing, either make it a replica of real army clothing or go in a completely different direction. The Nitraid 2010 Spring Collection has done the latter.
"Real City Camo" is the name of this line and it gets its inspiration form various common urban images such as rows of grey skyscrapers and cracked pavement. The Nitraid 2010 Spring Collection used aerial shots from Yoyogi Japan for its patterns, making you look like part of a building or a sidewalk if you were to wear the garments.
