# Vibrant Camouflage Trim Samurai Magazine & XLarge Shirts Won't Blend In By Christina Butty | Published 2009-08-29 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samurai-magazine-xlarge-shirts References: [hypebeast](http://hypebeast.com/2009/08/samurai-magazine-x-xlarge-10th-anniversary-gorilla-camo-collection/) & [blog.xlarge.jp](http://blog.xlarge.jp/) For those days when you want to look fresh but may have to hide (in a [McDonald's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-fries-backpack)), Samurai Magazine and XLarge clothing will have you covered with their kinda camouflaged gear. The Samurai magazine and XLarge collaboration began because Samurai Magzine wanted to commemorate their tenth anniversary. Their offering comes in two shirts and is based on the “gorilla camo” theme. One is a hoodie that is lined with the camo print, while the other only has arms with the camo print. They will be released on September 5. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 5% | Activity: 21% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Gorilla-camo Fashion:** The collaboration between Samurai Magazine and XLarge showcases a trend in fashion where camo prints are incorporated into clothing designs. - **Printed Hoodies:** The release of the camo-print lined hoodie by Samurai Magazine and XLarge highlights the trend of printed hoodies as a popular fashion choice. - **Celebration Collaborations:** The collaboration between Samurai Magazine and XLarge, created to commemorate Samurai Magazine's tenth anniversary, reflects a trend in the fashion industry of brands teaming up to celebrate milestones. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** The vibrant camo trim trend showcased by Samurai Magazine and XLarge presents disruptive innovation opportunities in the fashion industry by offering unique printed designs and collaborations. - **Streetwear:** The collaboration between Samurai Magazine and XLarge, featuring camo-printed clothing, highlights disruptive innovation opportunities within the streetwear industry by incorporating bold and eye-catching designs. - **Magazines:** The collaboration between Samurai Magazine and XLarge for their tenth anniversary represents a disruptive innovation opportunity within the magazine industry by venturing into fashion merchandise collaborations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Stealthy Collaborative Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-camo-collection.md) - [Artful Camo Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skylrk-camo.md) - [Silky Camouflage-Design Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lisous-empire-collection.md) - [Blue Camo Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bape-x-ovo-1.md) - [Retro-Themed Technical Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/episode-7-collection.md) - [Reimagined Signature Militaristic Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bape-and-alpha-industries.md) - [Camouflage-Print Technical Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grottoflage.md) - [Camouflage-Printed Bike Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dosnoventa.md) - [All-Black Camo Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/classic-fusion-all-black-camo.md)
