*last week I received clearance form Nabe at Medicom to post these previews of the fabric samples I designed for Medicom’s F@brick division.
I am designing a capsule set which will consist of a Backpack, Waist Bag, Slippers and Pillow. We chose to replicate the camouflage of the Vietnam M-1 helmet cover, also referred to as the Jungle leaf pattern or the “Mitchell”. These helmets were often decorated with graffiti by soldiers depicting symbols of peace, nihilism and drug use. (This ‘Nam camo was only used for helmet covers during 1963-1970.)
This wasn’t an easy task- I am very impressed with the end results Medicom has achieved. I am very excited for this project, as the Mitchell camo is one of the few camo’s that hasn’t been exploited in this industry.
Medicom will be releasing the Erik Brunetti F@brick set spring 2010. “Get some”
