According to the dictionary, camouflaging something means to cover or paint it in order to make it blend in with its surroundings, thereby rendering it as close as possible to invisible to observers. This obviously does not apply if, #1 the object in question is a brand new Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano; and #2 you are cruising the famed Croisette in Cannes. Then again we have the feeling the owner of this monstrosity did not exactly wish to blend in. It’s hard to imagine exactly what he was thinking, but we’re pretty sure it wasn’t “hide me.”
If we were to try and point the finger here we might be tempted to call out Japanese designer Nigo of Bathing Ape fame, along a certain Louis Vuitton collaborator by the name of Murakami. Both have made camouflage patterns fashionable among the way-too-much-money set, while Nigo even went so far as to paint an otherwise innocent and formerly beautiful classic Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing and a brand new Rolls-Royce Phantom in his signature camo print. This we feel sure is the kind of thing likely to lead to a reinstatement of sumptuary laws.
