Samsung made an odd decision in Australia this week with the reveal of a fashion collaboration with Dr Denim. Together the brands developed a limited edition pair of jeans designed "exclusively for the Galaxy Z Flip 3" in order to "prove that Y2K style and flip phones are truly back in fashion." The jeans have high waists and an extra Galaxy Z Flip 3-sized pocket* on their right-side leg.
KAWS isn't letting a good opportunity to cross-brand go to waste with the latest Fortnite fashion crossover. Technically KAWS isn't just a fashion element, the artist behind the skulls being a man whose art has more of a basis in graffiti, but still, this fits the bill. Fortnite's latest collaboration is just in time for Halloween in the spookiest month of the year, October of 2021.
In the trailer you're about to see, Microsoft launched a new pair of sneakers with Adidas. These sneakers are a "partnership 20 years in the playing", looking back on the past couple of decades of the existence of Microsoft's one and only gaming console. This first consumer release is just that - the first - there'll be more revealed "over the next few months" as well.
The snack brand Dunkaroos had an idea that's likely a glimpse into the future of pop culture in the metaverse. They're releasing a "'90s-inspired line" of clothing that'll be available both physically and digitally. It'll be both "virtual merch and merch to rock in real life," they say, and it'll be available to those willing to take the plunge for a couple of 10-dollar bills.

Fashionable Trainers are appearing at Pokestops during Fashion Week 2021 in Pokemon GO. You'll need to challenge a few of them to complete your Event-exclusive Timed Research for Fashion Week (September 21 through the 28th), but outside of those requirements, is there another reason why you'd want to go out of your way to challenge these game-controlled opponents? They're not like Team GO Rocket, they won't allow you to catch any Shadow Pokemon, so what's up?
Fashion brand Balenciaga announced they'd be teaming up with Fortnite this week for some wild outfits. This is a luxury fashion house, this Balenciaga, but they'll be dropping some clothing for Fortnite characters all the same. They'll appear in the game with a new "Balenciaga Fit Set" for four characters.
Furfrou will appear in Pokemon GO starting on September 21 along with a new "Form Change" mechanic. This new mechanic in the game will allow certian Pokemon to change their form with a requisite number of candy pieces and stardust. Furfrou will cost 25 candy and a whopping 10k dust to change its form - in this case, changing its Trim to one of 8 different iterations!

The Snapchat Spectacles came in 2016 with a lot of hype but turned out to be a bloated bubble that ultimately burst. While Snapchat users might disagree with this judgment, the glasses are pretty much useless for anything other than Snapchat. Now Facebook is looking to change that image with Ray-Ban Stories glasses developed in collaboration with EssilorLuxottica, Ray-Ban’s parent company.
Facebook and Ray-Ban revealed a pair of glasses with two cameras, microphones, and speakers inside. These glasses are very, very similar to the SnapChat Spectacles released in several iterations a few years ago. These glasses from Ray-Ban and Facebook connect to your phone to share video clips and photos, too. But why do these glasses exist?
