‘Animal Crossing: New Horizons’ avatars are wearing Prada and Supreme The 5th instalment of the Nintendo videogame adds a function to customize the characters' outfits

Over the last ew days Nintendo has released Animal Crossing: New Horizons, the 5th instalment of the Animal Crossing videogame saga. In this time of #socialdistancing, New Horizons is a slice of Heaven: it gives players a zen moment to relax and chill on a tropical island, where their biggest worry is to choose which friend to visit. Furthermore, from this instalment on is possible to customize each avatar's outfit in order to dress it with some of the most contemporary and famous fashion items. 

All the outfits are collected by an Instagram account: Animal Crossing Fashion Archive, that was opened some days after the release of the game and it already reached more than 6.000 followers.

The game gives you all the freedom you want: as with clothes, you can use its tool designs to recreate pieces of art and albums' covers (somebody chose to recreate Blonde by Frank Ocean) as well as scenes from your favourite films. There is no limit for your creativity. While the industry is starting to suffer the first consequences of this forced stop, fashion found a new platform to keep its fans dreaming: virtual design. This solution is not far from the choice to turn Shangai e di Tokyo fashion weeks into entirely digital events. 

If anybody wouldn't like to remember that we're living in difficult times (after all, it's the first shared experience of the globalized world), his avatar can still wear a face-mask, too.
