Model feebee poses with a visitor as part of art installation "Dazzle Room," made by artist Shigeki Matsuyama at Room 32 fashion and design exhibition in Tokyo, on Friday. Matsuyama's installation uses a strong contrast of black and white, which he learned from dazzle camouflage used mainly in World War I.

So you're saying Zebras had nothing to do with this crazy idea?

Exactly. And in any case, it's not a very original concept. The model's foot placement is pretty clever, and the visitor's coincidentally striped shirt (at least I hope to god she didn't intentionally dress in it just for that purpose) is a nice touch, but again, I'll stick to the books where you have to find the animals in the background patterns -- like the one with the zebras.
