Bioshock blamed for latest fashion craze
Film and television has long influenced popular fashion and it seems now games are getting their time in the spotlight. Since the games release late last year sales of full size diving suits have been climbing steadily and now popular fashion magazines such as Vogue are starting to take notice.
“Fashion isn’t about practicality it’s about looking great.” Vogue deputy fashion editor Pippa Barnes-Clark-Wallace told DPoT yesterday. “So what if it takes me three hours to travel two tube stops to work everyone notices me and that’s what matters.”
The diving suits were first shown at Milan fashion week with later appearances in London and Paris as the media circus surrounding them grew. Some high end boutiques have reported people camping out for up to three days before stock were due to arrive in order to secure an outfit. Rumours have been circulating that Primark are working on their own suit expected to retail at a bargain £29.99 but when approached by DPoT they refused to comment.
