For some, pixelated graphics in games are an immediate dealbreaker; others can never get enough of the nostalgic look. A new collection allows especially loyal fans to finally wear the pixel look in real life – provided they have the necessary cash.
Pixel graphics were originally due to the technical limitations of the 80s and 90s. Nowadays, technology has advanced so much that incredibly realistic gaming experiences are possible: from walking through Amsterdam to crumpled bed sheets.
Despite these possibilities, some gamers love the good old pixel graphics, which are still used in many indie games today. Such games are often relatively inexpensive, which is also a good thing. Because the money saved can now be invested by fans in the new collection of the Spanish luxury brand Loewe.
If realism is everything to you, you might be eager to dive into games with the “Deep Dive.”
A Dream in 8 Bit
What kind of collection is this? The Spanish fashion company Loewe has released a special treat for fashionable retro gamers and Minecraft fans with its “Pixel” collection. The aim is to “decontextualize the digital world” (via hypebeast).
The result is a series of photos where you might wonder if your eyes are glitching.
What does it cost? The entire collection comes with a fitting binary price of 11,110 € and is not exactly cheap. However, you can already acquire the look of Minecraft Steve for a comparatively low price of 2,280 €.
There may be a debate about the everyday practicality of wearable art pieces, but their appearance is definitely impressive. Especially the rather coarse-pixelated T-shirt or the light blue hoodie look almost unreal when worn in photos.
If you want to buy one of the crazy pieces or just browse a bit, you can do so on the Loewe website.
Gamers are traditionally not known for their fashion sense. However, just because you like to game doesn’t mean you have to limit yourself to sweatpants and hoodies, as this collection proves:
