In the First World War, the French army formed a camouflage corps, led by Lucien-Victor Guirand de Scévola, [146] [147] employing artists known as camoufleurs to create schemes such as tree observation posts and covers for guns. Other armies soon followed them. [148] [149] [150] The term camouflage probably comes from camoufler, a Parisian slang term meaning to disguise, and may have been influenced by camouflet, a French term meaning smoke blown in someone's face. [151] [152] The English zoologist John Graham Kerr, artist Solomon J. Solomon and the American artist Abbott Thayer led attempts to introduce scientific principles of countershading and disruptive patterning into military camouflage, with limited success. [153] [154] In early 1916 the Royal Naval Air Service began to create dummy air fields to draw the attention of enemy planes to empty land. They created decoy homes and lined fake runways with flares, which were meant to help protect real towns from night raids. This strategy was not common practice and did not succeed at first, but in 1918 it caught the Germans off guard multiple times. [155]This section needs additional citations for verification.

What is now a popular statement to make, was once only a product of the army and ultimately of war. So why has the design become so popular, and what has it been through before landing on my shelves and on high fashion runways? Automotive manufacturers often use patterns to disguise upcoming products. This camouflage is designed to obfuscate the vehicle's visual lines, and is used along with padding, covers, and decals. The patterns' purpose is to prevent visual observation (and to a lesser degree photography), that would subsequently enable reproduction of the vehicle's form factors.
