# Retro Arcade Game-Inspired Fashion Hermetic Square Embraces Nostalgic Fashion with Trippy Lookbook By Kalin Ned | Published 2018-11-16 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nostalgic-fashion-line References: [highsnobiety](https://www.highsnobiety.com/p/hermetic-square-fw18-collection-lookbook/#slide-10) & [instagram](https://www.instagram.com/p/BqFrnQJCHuM/) Contemporary Polish brand Hermetic Square taps into the movement of nostalgic fashion with an arcade game-informed collection for Fall/Winter 2018. With the rise of retro bars and the resurrection of vintage gaming modes, the offerings are sure to be a popular choice for consumers. The capsule includes outerwear, t-shirts, and hoodies, some of which are adorned heavily with nostalgia-inducing graphics. Naturally, the entirety of Hermetic Square's Fall/Winter 2018 line-up entertains a 90s aesthetic, both in terms of tailoring and design motifs. The nostalgic fashion collection is debuted in a trippy, distorted lookbook. The contemporary street label goes one step further by promoting the [retro arcade game-inspired capsule](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rollercoaster-tycoon-collection) via a [Tekken](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tekken-8)-themed video on its [Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tattoo-collection) channel. Tekken is a fighting video game that was first released in 1994. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.2/10 - Popularity: 96% | Activity: 82% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Nostalgic Fashion:** There is an opportunity for using inspiration from previous decades to create modern yet nostalgic fashion lines. - **Retro Gaming:** Incorporating retro gaming motifs and graphics into apparel could tap into a growing interest in vintage gaming culture. - **Trippy Aesthetics:** Bold, trippy designs and distorted images could be incorporated into fashion for a distinctive and eye-catching look. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Fashion brands could capitalize on a growing interest in nostalgic and retro-inspired clothing lines. - **Gaming:** Gaming companies could collaborate with fashion brands to create merchandise that appeals to vintage gaming enthusiasts. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Marketing and advertising agencies could create unique campaigns around nostalgic and trippy visuals to appeal to a young and modern demographic. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Retro Arcade-Themed Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-hundreds-and-tetris.md) - [Gaming-Inspired Streetwear Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kith-x-marvel-x-capcom-collection.md) - [Pattern-Heavy Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/needles-new-collection.md) - [Retro Sports Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marty-supreme.md) - [Game Console-Branches Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playstation-1.md) - [Conceptual Memory-Themed Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paranoid-fw25.md) - [Holographic Game-Inspired Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puma-5.md) - [Retro Gaming Merch Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rollercoaster-tycoon-collection.md) - [QSR Collaborative Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcdonaldland-clothing-line.md)
