Video Game Influence on Fashion?
Video games have come a long way from just being a form of entertainment. It has evolved & become a lifestyle & even long-term careers for many like live-streamers, YouTubers & even E-Sports (Competitive Gaming). Much like fashion, we see lots of collaborations between brands with different types of video games, but the difference is we see way more self-made, creative fashion trends by everyday people in our current generation.
One of the most well-known fashion icon game characters is Lightning, from the video game Final Fantasy XIII. Even though she may be a fictional character, she is an ICONIC character in the video game industry & once the face of Louis Vuitton, modelling for several bag designs, advertised throughout Japan. This has inspired video gamers throughout the world to experiment with fashion, becoming more creative with layering & styling.
Like in real life, fashion plays an important role in representing who we are as individuals. Disney as a brand & its video games have also become quite a notable brand as a whole for fashion in the world, creating the trend of Disney Bounding, where one dresses up as their preferred character through fashion pieces without fully cosplaying. In this case, specific colors & accessories are very important as it represents the character, they’re “Disney Bounding”.
Other notable video games like Fortnite, Legend Of Zelda, Super Mario have also inspired entire clothing lines. A very popular example would be Nintendo x Levi’s which features a denim jacket with patches of the Super Mario characters while the other is a top entirely filled with more Super Mario characters.
These bold ideas, designs & vision align exactly with what JumpFromPaper embodies! We create different collections of bags while keeping the 2D/3D look that reminds the general public of comics, cartoons & video games. We believe that the crossover between fashion & video games will continue to flourish even further for the future of the fashion industry.
