Jessica Morgan, New York magazine fashion writer tells us of Mizrahi's Fall 2009 New York Fashion Week show held in February about the new 'purse hats'... an impractical headgear this season that makes you look like an alien from outer space. Designer Narciso Rodriguez joined the band wagon staging a runway with a cow-print-camouflage outfit topped off with a bucket over her head... So much for any common sense.

Spotted by the paparazzi in Sydney International Airport after some Australian partying, Rihanna was sporting A Bathing Ape Puzzle Camo 6 Pocket Pants in Green Camo combined with a denim jacket topped off by a pair of Givenchy Buckle Ankle Boots and a Chanel Coco Cocoon Large Shopping Bag in black.

On the other hand Beyonce, was seen in Paris recently wearing Balmain Stretch Cotton Camouflage pants coupled with a Balmain Canvas Military Jacket and Balmain Silk Georgette Camouflage Top and a pair of Brian Atwood Studded black Pumps.

The Balmain camo pants go for a hard to believe $1,745, but don't despair ladies, you can get a knockoff for about twenty five bucks. Or you can come by pleated camo pants at Victoria's Secret website for only $14.99.
Bonnie Somerville goes casual in jeans and sports a camouflage patterned hooded designer jacket with a wide, soft leather belt topped off with elegant sandals for an upscale look.

Jeane Fournier seen at the premier of Good Guy in an odd combo of camouflage pants and a lace-zip-up-camisole with a choker-style halter top and a butterfly brooch. Wow! That's a mouthful and yet nothing seems to go together...
For just under a thousand US dollars you can get an Alexander McQueen Camo Bag... tote style, very stylish and all the rage.

Check Sak's 5th Avenue. Lady GaGa's an Alexander McQueen fan. The MTV Video Music Awards. Featured Lady GaGa with a blood-red lace Alexander McQueen archive dress and matching headdress and veil.

Even the groupies love camo. Los Angeles Sheriff's Department arrested a camouflage-wearing, camera-toting woman they say was caught peeking into Britney Spears windows. Sheriff deputies picked up Miranda Tozier-Robbins after security guards stopped her at Spears' suburban home. The 26-year-old was issued a citation and released.

Spears recently moved from Los Angeles since her home was prone to spying by the paparazzi.

Hillary Swank joins the camo craze wearing a black top and camo pants as she strolls through the airport on a flight out of LAX.

Robin Givens was one of Mike Tyson's friends wearing quite fashionable camo pants.

Male model James Ellis works out incessantly to build his fabulous abs and loves to wear camo pants that make him look rough and tough. Also Chad White in his camo underwear and Adam Gregory in his camo pants.

We expect to soon see Tiger Woods with a Camo Bag on the golf course.
