Simultaneously the exact items will be available to purchase online on davidkoma.com.
Pocket Styler allows players to create and style their avatars for a range of daily themed events, with other gamers voting on their outfits. The game currently boasts 310+ trillion possible combinations of outfits with 10.5 million looks submitted weekly and over 10 million votes given to outfits daily.
This is only the second and biggest collaboration for the Pocket Styler game, which originally launched in May 2021, with all looks designed in-house. Since then, the game has been downloaded 15.8 million times and boasts 1.7 million monthly active users. 70% of Pocket Styler players are above 25 years of age and more than 85% are female, reflecting well the target audience of a luxury womenswear brand like David Koma.
“With the mobile game market valued at 120 Billion USD in 2021 with 7.7% year-on-year growth, it is an unmissable space for a fashion brand like mine to explore and reach new audiences. It has been fantastic to collaborate with Nordcurrent – I have loved the process of transforming my designs into digital fashion items and am very excited to see how Pocket Styler gamers will interact and style our creations. It is a new experience, launching the collection as clothing and virtually within the app, allowing more people than ever to own one of my designs.” – David Koma, Founder, and Creative Director
“Barriers between digital and physical fashion are fading. Pocket Styler’s mission is to provide its players with a platform to experience high fashion, develop a sense of style, learn to make choices, and meet new friends. Introducing real fashion brands in Pocket Styler is a natural progression as the game grows, and it is enthusiastically supported by millions of players. It is a pleasure to work with David Koma, a fashion designer who is curious and determined to explore the potential of mobile games as an environment to build relationships with fashion lovers all over the world. I believe this is just the beginning of a wonderful journey for both our teams and, of course, all our customers and players.” – Victoria Trofimova, Nordcurrent co-founder and CEO
