Japanese designer Kunihiko Morinaga showcases an 8-bit interpretation of the range of women's fashion, from dresses and professional suits to athletic styles and sweatshirts, in the pixel-patterned fall/winter 2011/2012 collection of his fashion company anrealage. The line debuted during Japan Fashion Week.
Primarily composed of colourful square blocks of diverse fabrics, the clothing can appear relatively conventional from a distance, but at closer range its unusual pattern is revealed. a line of shoes composed of similar materials, including pumps that feature a blocky, cubic heel, fills out the collection. during the fashion show, models also donned coloured translucent eyewear and accessories composed of individual squares and cubes, while a pianist echoed the theme with live music reminiscent of early video games.
At the tokyo fashion event, morinaga also exhibited the anrealage spring/summer collection, in which models wore plastic inflatables to distort their forms. Images can be found here and here.

The odd one I want to say: "Oh no.. someone left a JPG in with the rest of the wash.."
It'll be the new 'red sock'.
This actually really nice, not too practical but very interesting to look at.
Oh thanks, when i saw "submit news" on the menu, i think that was other thing
I think that's the point of it, somehow.
My brain keeps trying to tell me these are photoshopped. :P
I do not care much for fashion but found it interesting that 8-bit style in clothes
Interesting designs. Like the attention given to the laces with the blocky cut out. Also just noticed the flower pin in one of the pictures which is a pretty nice detail.
No idea who would want to wear the design on the left. Maybe with a jacket over it and a wide belt, but alone? And with those shoes? hng DX
