The first major exhibition to explore the story of the development of military camouflage and its adoption into popular culture from the First World War to the present day.
The exhibition explains how in recent decades camouflage has been reclaimed by popular culture. It has been used as a uniform for anti-war protestors and also taken up by singers and musicians such as The Clash, Public Enemy and Madonna.
Maharishi contributes several exhibits from recycled, mainline and MHI collections whilst creative director Hardy Blechman used his expertise to help to bring the exhibition together. The exhibition includes Andy Warhol’s famous camouflage prints as well as art by Alain Jacquet and Boetti. Also on display is couture by John Galliano, Philip Treacy, Jean Paul Gaultier; urban camouflage designs by Adelle Lutz for David Byrne’s film True Stories; and a ballet costume created by Gerald Scarfe for the English National Ballet’s production of Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker.
