I remember when I was younger it was the "in" thing for a while to wear [faux camouflage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lisous-empire-collection). If you are going to have [army-inspired clothing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nicholson-fw25), 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stone-island-earth-mapping-camouflage) 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.
