The Drest x Jimmy Choo partnership marks the first collaboration between the luxury footwear house and the fashion gaming app, inviting players to style looks from Jimmy Choo’s Paris-inspired 'Wardrobe Icons' campaign. The in-game challenge features curated edits and reissued archival styles, set against bespoke virtual backdrops from the campaign shoot.
The activation taps into Drest’s immersive format, which has seen over 1 billion virtual try-ons to date -- 104 million of them for shoes alone. Players can create personalized looks using Jimmy Choo accessories, style them on diverse avatars, and participate in virtual fashion shoots. As Drest expands its gamified styling experiences, this partnership offers Jimmy Choo an interactive platform to connect with digitally native consumers in a story-driven, fashion-forward way.
