Not since JC de Castelbajac's infectiously fun LEGO fashion line have I seen such energetic geek-inspired ware. Japanese designer Kunihiko Morinaga pays homage to ye olde 8-bit days with his extensive catwalk of video game inspired womenswear—ranging from dresses to suits to streetwear. The pixel-printed Fall/Winter 2011/2012 collection debuted during Tokyo Fashion Week under his label Anrealage. Not only did the models don classic pixel prints, but they also strutted to a live pianist performing eerie vintage video game inspired music, wearing brightly colored, cubic translucent eyewear and accessories. Geek fetishism aside, the prints and ragged edges are beautiful.

I love the idea of pixel-fashion. Funny how much better the concept works in a single frame photo than in the video...where the fashion just looks kinda sloppy
