FromSoft games are, first and foremost, redolent with drip, and See?
This is presumably why the game now has an official fashion collab with luxury streetwear brand ARK/8, manifested in the form of "
The line-up launched for sale today, and ranges from a luxurious faux fur coat lined with a map of The Lands Between (£1,400/around $1,700) to a "Tarnished Destroyed Sweater" (£190/around $230) that's either edgy and chic or "looks like my dryer ate it," in the words of PC Gamer fashion editor Andy Chalk.
As someone who is A) forever dressed like a keynote speaker at a young Tory conference and B) feels bad spending north of £10 on a T-shirt, it's less that the clothes aren't for me than it is that I'm not for them. But god, how I wish I was.
The creative director on the lineup is one Dimitri van Eetvelde, who I'm not sure could have become anything but a creative fashion director with a name as potent as that, and he says the collaboration has been in the works since before
Eetvelde says he's a fan of the game, but he also told NME he played it on PS3, so who really knows what's going on there.
Regardless, I'm into this absurd, wildly expensive nonsense despite knowing I'd never have the guts to wear it myself. Much like the (wrongly) lamented Disco Elysium jackets, I'm strangely glad they exist.
