Square Enix have decided to do something different with several of their characters from Final Fantasy XIII-2 which shows that with current game designs can be merged with real clothing and not look completely odd. The company has agreed for some of the games characters including Noel, Lightning, Hope and Sazh to appear as fashion models in the magazine Arena Homme+. As part of a 12 page feature in the magazine, the characters will sport Prada’s 2012 Spring Men’s Collection.
Max Pearmain, Editor of Arena Homme+ had this to say:
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.
Yoshinori Kitase, Producer of Final Fantasy XIII-2 also had this to say:
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.
You will be able to pick up a copy of the magazine from the 12th April.
