“Urban Camo” is a unisex, ready-to-wear collection designed and manufactured by luxury, sustainable-streetwear
designer, Chris Mena, that recontextualizes camouflage within city environments. Drawing inspirations from urban deterioration and the United States Military Complex, the throughlines of this collection showcase motifs
commonly found in graffiti, discarded objects and architectural decay. “Urban Camo” showcases experimental
print design through the process of traditional industrial print manufacturing. Futher pushing the print
manipulation and the material foundation of the collection, Mena employs a diverse range of print distortion
methods such as, sun-bleaching, rust-dyeing, and physical print distressing, allowing for the wearer to conceptually
hide in plane sight within the ever-changing complex landscape that is the modern metropolis.
