Its first major crossover into civilian style came in the 1960s and 70s, adopted by anti-war protesters and counterculture movements. In the 1990s, designers like John Galliano and Jean Paul Gaultier incorporated camo into high fashion, blending utility with avant-garde aesthetics.
In the 2000s, brands like Valentino and Christopher Kane reimagined it with neon hues and luxe fabrics. More recently, Virgil Abloh’s Off-White and Demna Gvasalia’s Balenciaga have given camo a streetwear twist, reinforcing its status as a perennial statement in contemporary fashion.
