British label maharishi have released a number of camouflaged pieces for their Spring/Summer 2015 collection. Included in the military designs are upcycled Vietnam-era gear and apparel, taken from the maharishi archives, that have been repurposed for modern fashion sensibilities. In keeping with designer Hardy Blechman’s philosophy, the pieces have been ritually cleansed of their former violent purpose.
Since the ’90s maharishi has quietly gone about reclaiming camo for civilian use, citing the proximity to the earth that it suggests. Some of the patterns in this collection date back to the inception of countershading in camouflage, first used widely by Italian forces in the late ’20s.
Have a look at the collection at the
