The first major exhibition to explore the impact of camouflage on modern warfare and its adoption into popular culture.
See how teams of artists and designers were employed to conceal and distort everything from soldiers to battleships and how camouflage concepts and designs have influenced contemporary art and fashion from street-style to couture.
Leading artists and naturalists have played a key role in the development of camouflage, not only by concealing soldiers, aircraft, tanks, ships and buildings, but also by creating elaborate visual deceptions.
In recent decades camouflage has been adopted by anti-war protesters and by musicians such as The Clash and Public Enemy. Camouflage patterns have inspired artists like Andy Warhol, Alain Jacquet and Alighiero Boetti; infiltrated the fashion world from the couture designs of Jean Paul Gaultier to the street style created by Maharishi; and have been used on everyday products from rubber ducks to mobile phones.
