The Canadian War Museum has worked with local high schools and colleges to organize an event created by youth for youth. Taking inspiration from the Camouflageexhibition, the students have been asked to create an original design for the fashion show. Each design is the student’s personal interpretation of how they see camouflage in the world around them. Each garment has been designed and constructed by the students.

The participating students come from the following schools:
Canterbury High School
École secondaire publique De La Salle
Richard Robinson Academy of Fashion Design
Special thanks to Redken for its support.
LeBreton Gallery

Lecture: Hiding in Plain Sight
