Camouflage is a fashion trend that comes back into style every year which is why we have decided to delve into the world of camouflage fashion watches. Unlike some of our other fashion trends in this series, camouflage is a fashion trend with a vast history. Camouflage was not intended to reach the fashion world as it was during the first world war the military began to use the print as a form of defence, hiding from their enemies. It wasn’t just clothes that were covered in this print but also weapons and transport.
When did camouflage hit the fashion industry?
Camouflage was picked up by Vogue as early as 1943, picking up on the trends on the field during both wars at the beginning of the twentieth century. This was not for the purpose of starting new trends, it was to inform their readership what the camouflage print was and its function on the field. The next time that camouflage was featured in Vogue magazine was in 1971, featuring a collage of girls dressed in the print. It wasn’t until the 1980’s that this fashion trend exploded.
Here is a glance at a battlefield inspired runway:
