I've noticed a lot of models bringing camouflage attire recently. But for me, 3 months seems like a long time.

I'd say denim shorts/skirts are far more common than I'd like to see. Nothing against denim, but a denim skirt, denim shorts, denim short-shorts, and long denims does not make for a complete set to a photo shoot.

I like the camo look, but the model has to have the right attitude for it to work.  I have no desire to shoot demin shorts or skirts, especially if they are blue.  I'm just tired of the look.

You must have read my mind,
I always liked pairing up the camo pants with a pink polo dress shirt.
although I can't see pulling off that look in 2006.

Camo has been around for a long time.

Seems kind of dumb to me. At one time I had to wear it like it or not. Now it's somekind of fashion statement. Only I don't know what it is? I mean if you want to wear it that bad go join the military and REALLY make a statement!

The other thing. Wearing jungle or dessert camo in the cities. Wouldn't it make more sense if you had parts of cars, newpapers, garbage and other city clutter printed on it? Then it would be real city camo.

What's worse than camoflage is pink camoflage. Who are you hiding from -- Richard Simmons?

When you see people wearing it in the mall, its time to move on.
So how do you forsee coming trends EARLY? Is it from Europe then to the U.S.?

Camo looks great on Marines, soldiers and duck hunters.  On anyone else it looks pretentious. 

Black is the new black.

Wait until the second week of September. We'll know more then.

Fashion is already a uniform though.
