What is the Camouflaged Couture trend?
Camouflaged Couture: In a time when consumers want to stand out, not fit in, an interesting direction is taking place in fashion media. Fashion editors and photographers are creating editorials centered on concealment and camouflage. In these spreads, the couture becomes part of the background, which hides the model and the clothes they don. By disguising the fashion and the subjects, these offbeat editorials offer a play on our obsession with conspicuousness by showcasing exactly the opposite.
