Conceived just months after Warhol’s death in 1987, the project became one of the earliest and most significant intersections of contemporary art and fashion. The Warhol estate granted Sprouse exclusive access to unpublished works, from which he selected Warhol’s late-series Camouflage silkscreens (1986). Sprouse reimagined the camouflage—traditionally meant to conceal. Cut in Sprouse’s signature mod silhouette, the coat features silver-tone hardware, zip closures at the front, chest, and hips, a structured high collar, and circular elbow pads. An embroidered script detail across the chest offers a subtle counterpoint to its electric palette.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis particular piece was acquired in 1987 by Sophie Bramly - renowned photographer, producer, and one of the few to comprehensively document hip-hop’s early years.
