PUNK meets Military BDU Shorts

Punk meets Military BDU Shorts created by Wtaps Japan for summer 09 collection.
I notice right now in Japanese street/ Contemporary ready to wear fashion there are alot of cross genre hybrid designs going on.



For example, these shorts by Wtaps from "Tet"
Punk influence leopard print fabric on a military camoflouge
short pants. I really feeling these shorts and I gotta give it to Wtaps to mixing two print patterns from punk style to military style and making something so cool and simple to wear.

Other Japanese brands from Commes des garcon, undercover, visvim, and wtaps are all making cross genre hybrid products right now and I think that is the direction to go with creating new designs. The era of collaboration projects by two companies or three companies is over, So if you like what you see say "YES!~)"

I think Street wear/Contemporary brands in the United States are still stuck on collaboration with companies. It's a shame...

New word "STREECONTISM" meaning: People are trying to get away from being Streetwear (because streetwear is over and done) and want to be contemporary but not too euro or gay.
