Final Fantasy fashion, via Prada

Wednesday, April 4th, 2012

In what seems to be one of the strangest Final Fantasy series collaborations yet, characters from Final Fantasy XIII-2 appear in Prada’s upcoming spring men’s fashion catalog: Arena Homme+. Lightning, Hope, Sazh, and Noel sport clothing designed. You can view the results of this collaboration below:

“Our Spring issue focuses on a world of direction and escapism, and having a visually stunning videogame franchise such as FINAL FANTASY work alongside us and a leading fashion brand like Prada to create something so unique is incredible. I’ve always been interested by the power of videogames and their place in society, and the amount of work that’s gone into this project blows my mind. We’re incredibly pleased with the result.” — Max Pearmain, Editor of Arena Homme+.

“The FINAL FANTASY series is known for its creativity and innovation; so working with Prada, a renowned fashion house with such beautiful clothing was a very exciting opportunity. The images we have been able to create together are vibrant and unique.” — Yoshinori Kitase, Final Fantasy XIII-2 Producer.
