The FW12 Dot Camo Collection Combines Two Popular Patterns
Meghan Young — August 28, 2012 — Fashion
The FW12 Dot Camo collection should not be confused with spotted camouflage clothing. Instead, it combines two fashion fads into one: polka dots and camouflage patterns. A collaborative effort between two Japanese labels, THE CONTEMPORARY FIX and SWAGGER, it bridges the gap between the clean constructions of the first and the loud hip hop aesthetics of the latter. A surprisingly strong visual, the unique pattern makes a bold statement.
Available at the online shop Megaseek, the FW12 Dot Camo collection is comprised of jackets, shorts and vests. Designer Takeshi Osumi and creative director Yuichi Yoshii show that remixing existing prints and patterns is one way to create something that has not been seen before and can be appreciated on more than one level.
