Fashion - Misc. Battle dress fashions. Camouflage is the name of the latest winner in the fashion war. The jungle green and mud-brown mixture fabric has a classless, ageless appeal and seems to have got the ever-popular denim on the run. The new look has been around for some time - but it hasn't been adopted by the fashion houses. It's a street style, not something from the designers. The fabric lends itself to jeans, overalls and dungarees. but Mirror fashion editor Lesley Ebbetts reckons that the adaptable material will be made up into anything that can stun. This autumn could see the start of something different in the way of high street selling campaigns - ex-army surplus taking on the trendies! Strides ahead...Aertex vest in khaki only, at £2.29 from Laurence Corner in London NW1. print trousers by Ann Reeves at £18. Sandals from roots at £30. August 1980 P017422
