Aprašymas

A one-of-a-kind publication showcasing 250 iconic clothing designs throughout videogame history, from the medium's most iconic characters to more cult selections.

From the fusion of traditional Chinese dress and 1990s wrestling gear in Chun-Li's iconic Street Fighter II outfit, to PaRappa the Rapper's playful blend of hip-hop attitude and skate culture, and Beat's graffiti-artist ensemble in Jet Set Radio, Videogame Fashion examines how in-game clothing draws on subcultures, visual motifs and fashion iconography - remixing and recontextualizing them to build characters, worlds and playable identities.

Structured as a classic fashion lookbook and arranged into six genre-themed 'collections', it showcases 250 iconic looks from the formative decades of videogame history. These looks are accompanied by in-depth commentaries from Dimitri van Eetvelde, who provides valuable insight into each design's function, cut, materials and cultural influence - both in-game and in the wider world. This unique book also includes five guest essays from leading figures in fashion, pop culture and videogames, exploring the ever-broadening dialogue between digital clothing and real-world fashion.

This will be a key resource for designers, stylists and anyone intrigued by the intersection of fashion and play.
