While camouflage clothing was originally only widely used for military purposes, it can now be worn anywhere and at any time. As early as World War I, civilians were inspired by war clothing and patterns, giving this camouflage a unique fashion meaning.However, when American veterans returned from Vietnam, they began wearing camouflage uniforms to protest the war. Soon, camouflage uniforms became the uniform of anti-war protesters. At the same time, Andy Warhol and others were using camouflage to create subversive artworks, opening another door for fashion designers.Camouflage slowly began to appear on the streets in the 1970s. The appeal of camouflage clothing was threefold - it had connotations of combat and baoli, it was relatively cheap, and it was hard-wearing. And it paired seamlessly with the oversized jeans and bulky Timberlands that were the mainstream of the street at the time.Nigo was inspired by the re-creation of American military uniforms and hip-hop culture, and incorporated Bape's "ABC" camouflage into a large number of series, thus incorporating this pattern into streetwear and subverting its original design connotation. Camouflage has been in and out of trend culture as the times change.
