What we're witnessing here is a perfect application of dazzle camouflage, a legitimate military technique from WWI.

The zigzag pattern on the outfit creates the same effect—making torpedo targeting calculations frustratingly inaccurate. Fashion meets naval warfare engineering. German U-boat commanders would be furiously adjusting their slide rules right now.
