Camouflage is a signature of Claude Sabbah’s work—he uses it to evoke the military and street culture, and often plays on the tension between the two. Here, Sabbah juxtaposed a tough, net-covered camouflage with supple, pink satin. The sleeves fold back to form a rose, making the look both hard and soft, masculine and feminine.
