Camo collection as tactical couture

Let's be honest. Everyone has been keeping scorelines beyond casualties, destroyed assets and those kinds of things. In the aftermath of the latest cross-border hostilities, fashionistas are asking the burning question: 'Who won the war of style?' Camouflage - the humble garb of soldiers dodging enemy fire - is now storming the civvie wardrobe. Military couture is officially in. No small thanks to Vyomika Singh and Sofiya Qureshi.

From Delhi's elite super trouper circuits to Mumbai's chi-chi brigade, no outfit feels complete without at least one olive-green accessory that screams 'I'm battle-ready for brunch, homies!' Luxury brands should catch wind of the trend, offering limited-edition combat boots for urban warfare (read: navigating potholes), and tactical vests roomy enough to carry both gossip ammunition and artisanal cold brew. Streetwear designers are getting ready to market distressed cargo pants as 'war-torn chic'. Want to blend in at the next Whitefield soiree? 'Wear camo.' Want to stand out on Insta? Give that 'fatigued' look with an intense BrahMos stare. It's the paradox of post-conflict style: wear clothes meant to make you invisible to be seen. Wedding designers can join the fray with camouflage sherwanis, tactical lehengas and veils so stealthy, even the groom may miss them. Fashion, after all, is a battlefield... of trends.
