# Computer Virus Clothing Chloma's Blue Screen of Death Collection is Inspired by PC Fatal Errors By Jana Pijak | Published 2014-11-27 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blue-screen-of-death References: [designmadeinjapan](http://designmadeinjapan.com/magazine/fashion/blue-screen-of-death-chlomas-new-line-of-clothing/) & [chloma](http://www.chloma.com/) Chloma's Autumn/Winter 2014 collection is named after and inspired by the Blue Screen of Death. When a PC computer crashes due to a fatal error, the blue screen appears, signaling the demise of your electronic device. Chloma designers Junya Suzuki and Reiko Sakuma created a clothing collection based on this idea and transformed fatal errors into a fashion statement. This surprisingly wearable range is made up of sculptural coats, [printed statement sweaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/microsoft-holiday-sweater) and matching separates that exude a feeling of comfort. The pieces feature matching prints and exaggerated silhouettes.
