Collaboration creates custom camouflage
London’s Maharishi Hardy Blechman Ltd. began by producing hemp and other natural fiber clothing, and soon turned to adapting and customizing camouflage, then creating its own versions. Collaboration with artists and designers, including the graffiti artist Futura, are a vital element in the creative process.
Gorscuba uses a 3M Scotchlite™ reflective print often customized with hand-painted embellishment from Futura; the Scubafuturaempora coats also use reflective inks to create bionic reflective fabrics. While the Gorscuba designs are mostly used on parka, street and military styles, the Scubafuturaempora styles are combined with designs inspired by Chinese emperors’ robes.
