E-Commerce Site Frank & Oak Launches Video Game-Inspired Menswear Collection

If you consider Karl Lagerfeld’s unexpectedly-difficult Je Veux Les Lunettes De Karl, an online game in which users are charged with the task of stealing sunglasses off the creative eye of Chanel, or Rachel Zoe’s Covet Fashion, a mobile styling app that lets bored housewives players style avatars with actual name-brand brands, then the interaction between the worlds of video games and fashion does not seem as foreign as the words — or their television portrayal — might imply. Taking this (still developing?) dynamic and pushing the relationship one step further, menswear brand and e-tailers Frank & Oak has designed a real-life capsule collection inspired by the highly-anticipated digital action/adventure video game, Watch Dogs. In the story, under the role of hacker and vigilante Aiden Pearce, players use technology to manipulate a dystopian and hyper-connected version of Chicago, Illinois. The resulting 12-piece collection shares the same bleak, smart darkness that Watch Dogs lives in, in uniforms of industrially-worn french terry hoodies, distressed v-neck tees, and sleek black canvas pants. See some of our favorite pieces from the capsule collaboration below and be sure to check out the full line when it launches online Wednesday, April 23, 2014.

Frank Oak x Watch Dogs will be available online for USA and Canadian customers starting April 23, 2014 and the video game will be released worldwide on May 27, 2014.

With the holiday season right around the corner-ish, a new style-minded app is launching next Thursday, Oct 3rd, and Diane Von Furstenberg will be on (virtual) hand to shepherd it’s arrival. The CFDA, of which Furstenberg is proudly the Prez, has been working with Google+ on an innovative way to to take designer/customer engagement to the next level, and so they’ve created a new, unique platform altogether. Within the new shopping app for Hangouts On Air (HOA), a designer or retailer broadcasts a multi-person video chat about their products while customers browse curated selections of products available exclusively for purchase online.

“I have always been about dialogue and this is a fabulous way to communicate with your customer!” said DVF. But this is no one-trick,-fresh-out-the-gate-before-falling-to-the-back pony, as Furstenberg is only the first of a slew of notable collaborations in the digi-pipeline. Future collabs include Marcus Wainwright and David Neville of rag & bone, Rebecca Minkoff, and Rachel Zoe, with more expected to continue to rollout. For more info, check out the video below, or click here.

A few lot of things we love crossed paths last night at the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles. Salvatore Ferragamo creative director Massimillian Giormetti, along with Harper’s BAZAAR and Jacqui Getty, toasted the launch of the women’s Spring/Summer 2013 collection with a star studded presentation and private dinner inside Bungalow 1 at the Chateau Marmont. The entire collection was on hand as were a good tranche of Hollywood/LA society elite, enjoying the night regaled in all manner Ferragamo—from full looks to gorgeous accessories. Certainly, LA was where the fashion scene was at last night. Check out beauties like Demi Moore (who, really wows in a Ferragamo dress), Emma Roberts, Rachel Zoe, Gia Coppola (all in head to toe Ferragamo) and Nicole Richie and Gia Coppola, both rocking the accessories. And for the guys, Evan Peters, Keegan Allen and George Kotsiopoulos looked nothing but debonair their range of Ferragamo men’s looks. By the way, the collection releases this weekend. Check event pics after the jump.
