“Our Spring issue focuses on a world of direction and escapism, and having a visually stunning videogame franchise such as FINAL FANTASY work alongside us and a leading fashion brand like Prada to create something so unique is incredible,” said Max Pearmain, Editor of Arena Homme+. “I’ve always been interested by the power of videogames and their place in society, and the amount of work that’s gone into this project blows my mind. We’re incredibly pleased with the result.”
Yoshinori Kitase, Producer of FINAL FANTASY XIII-2 added, “The FINAL FANTASY series is known for its creativity and innovation; so working with Prada, a renowned fashion house with such beautiful clothing, was a very exciting opportunity. The images we have been able to create together are vibrant and unique.”

Anrealage has delivered a conceptually stunning collection for AW12 by creating garments with a motion blur effect applied to them, to the point of printing buttons on the sleeves. The result is quite stunning — garments that look like they were caught in high-speed motion on camera. I hope I’ll be lucky enough to see these in person someday! Check out the full collection here.
