pants and top by Agoraphobix |
One of my favorite movie lines of all time is from good morning Vietnam. Robin Williams (an underestimated genius in my opinion) does a skit on the radio impersonating the Camp Fashion Consultant: "Because you go in the jungle, I can't see you. You know, it's like wearing stripes and plaid. For me, I want to do something different. You know, you go in the jungle, make a statement. If you're going to fight, clash. You know what I mean?"
Thats why Camouflage as urban wear is just the ticket. I say to hell with grays and blacks. when your in the city, clash!
I got loads of camouflage and army inspired in my collection. I love the blend of the ultra masculine print with the feminine cuts. most of these items can be found in my "street beat" section, which is dedicated to street wear inspired items. here is a selection of my favorite items from this collection:
camouflage top by Agoraphobix |
camouflage Cuff by Agoraphobix |
If you want some a statement top, this is it, try out this camouflage and star print bustier top. I added a super cool grommet tape and metal buckle shoulder strap to complete the look.

Still abit chilly? this camouflage long sleeve hoodie top has bullets printed on the front, and its just a great item to carry you through these volatile spring days.
