Streetwear-Wearing Virtual Characters

The Sims Invites Fashion Expression with Streetwear Options

— April 13, 2020 — Lifestyle
The Sims responds the current COVID-19 outbreak in a number of ways, one of which invites fans to explore their fashion creativity with the selection of streetwear goods to dress up their virtual characters. The reality game is often an outlet of expression to create a world for a variety of characters conjured through imaginations.

To explore high-end fashion from an affordable angle in the comfort of one's own home, streetwear brands including Mugler, Bottega Veneta, Telfar, and Marine Serre have their captivating runway looks created in digital iterations. Designers including Olivia created the custom content after realizing she couldn't find clothing that fit her own style and took matters into her own hands.
