Disruptive Pattern Material (DPM) is a brand new publication from Maharishi. It's the result of 6 years research into the world of camouflage and is truly an incredible product. But you want to know best part? Well it's got to be the full page spread of some Protein° DPM Betabottles™ we designed up in 2003. See them here ... This awesome DPM "bible" contains over 5,000 images, many of which are previously unpublished, including work from some of the world's leading nature, military, and fashion photographers and archives such as National Geographic, Imperial War Museum, Steven Klein, Nick Knight, and Albert Watson. Featured are depictions of camo-clad cultural icons such as Robert De Niro, Dustin Hoffman, U2, Notorious BIG, Busta Rhymes, Janet Jackson, Ali G, and Joe Strummer. The 'Nature' section sets out the camouflage phenomena that have evolved in animals and plants over thousands of years and is beautifully illustrated with pictures of organisms disappearing into their natural habitats. This is followed by an in-depth study of the development of camouflage and deception tactics used by the military in warfare with particular emphasis on the role that artists played in translating camouflage colouration and disruptive patterns from the natural world to the uniforms and machineries of war. DPM incorporates the most extensive guide to official military camouflage patterns ever published with details of the past and present camouflage uniforms of 107 nations around the world. DPM, also for the first time in print, thoroughly documents the rise of camouflage outside of the armed forces in the work of fashion designers, painters, sculptors, graffiti artists, graphic designers, costumiers, architects, musicians, film stars, toy designers, and many others. In this third 'Culture' section, an account is given of the history of the influence of military styling on civilian clothing and how camouflage has been elevated from the surplus market to the collections of high fashion houses. The fashion pages feature camouflage garments by the likes of: Maharishi, A Bathing Ape, Supreme, Stussy, w)taps, Adidas, Christian Dior, Louis Vuitton, Comme des Garcns, Dolce & Gabbana, Richard James, Roberto Cavalli, Stone Island and of course, Protein°.
