This isn’t the first time fashion is crossing over to video games — brands like Marc Jacobs, Valentino, and Maison Margiela have collaborated with Animal Crossing, keeping fashionable gamers hooked with an enhanced gaming experience.
In the official press release Maison Longchamp’s Artistic Director shares how real and virtual worlds are blending perfectly in this new collaboration. “Our Le Pliage bag has become a platform where all the different aspects of Longchamp can be expressed and can also take us to unknown places. We hadn’t explored entertainment and gaming before,” Sophie Delafontaine shares. “It’s a very inspiring world, particularly with Pokémon and its iconic mascot, Pikachu.”
The fashionable online event of Pokemon GO and Longchamp collaboration happens on October 2, 2020, at 8:00am October 8, 2020, at 10:00pm PDT. The Longchamp x Pokemon collection will available in October 13 at Longchamp stores worldwide (Rustan’s outlets in the Philippines) and online.
