    Case in point: Dries Van Noten €701 ($939 USD) over at Tres Bien Shop. Yea looks like rust camouflage, I don’t even know… but none of that matters because if you’ll recall the Jay-Z / Kanye song Murder To Excellence line – “I dress in Dries, and other boutique stores in Paris”.  Boom, instant do-whatever-the-hell-you-want-and-print-money-doing-it license…

    The Italian luxury brand goes full woodland. The above promo video was from their launch of the collection at their Milan store.  You may recognize Chinese artist Liu Bolin, as the guy getting painted to become “invisible”.  That is his claim to fame, and some of the pictures are actually really neat.

    Bape did what they do best, and threw some camo on this traditional Chinese Garment: This is what it looks like reversed: $1020 over at BAPE store China and BAPE store Bejing.
