Unlike the demise of designer trucker caps tech and fashion collaborations are yet to go out of style. In fact, if the latest project by Thomas Sabo Pocket Styler is anything to go by, the fusion between both looks likely to be the Little Black Dress of your wardrobe. A long-term investment, rather than a seasonal (ahem, regrettable?) trend.
As one of the world’s most celebrated international jewellery brands, Thomas Sabo recently announced its entry into the gaming realm. Partnering with the innovative fashion game Pocket Styler, to bring its iconic collections to life in a virtual setting. And, offering players a unique and immersive experience like never before.
Pocket Styler (initially introduced by Nordcurrent in May 2021) quickly rose to prominence in the gaming world. Captivating enthusiasts with its seamless blend of gaming and fashion. And, although it had already executed several successful collaborations with renowned designers, Pocket Styler continues to push boundaries by welcoming Thomas Sabo into its glamorous universe.
In the world of Pocket Styler, players aren’t just gamers; they’re style architects. They’re given the freedom to create personalised avatars and craft exquisite looks using a plethora of apparel, accessories and makeup options. With style challenges set in iconic New York locations, players compete to showcase their creativity and fashion prowess.
Similarly, Thomas Sabo, known for its versatile designs and timeless elegance, brings a touch of luxury to Pocket Styler. With pieces from its SS24 collection. From the Cosmic Amulet range featuring intricately designed pendants adorned with violet stones, to the Heritage Glam collection, boasting lavish hand-cut stones in exquisite settings, players can now adorn their avatars with Thomas Sabo’s signature pieces.
