UPDATE: With every purchase of Ammerman Schlösberg in stores and online, customers will receive a limited-run, oversized T-shirt from the designers, featuring black metal artwork done in collaboration with the NYC-based artist, Avery Noyes. One size fits all; item pictured in the first two images above.
What do you get when you mix Lolita, a love of video games, and a free spirit? A fantasy-driven collection made of, well, dreams. For Ammerman Schlösberg's latest collection, designers Elizabeth Ammerman and Eric Schlösberg (who have thrived on the idea of “luxury cosplay” (costume play) had the intention of making the brand’s eccentric look more translatable and wearable—if you're a badass lady, that is.
Choosing the classic video game vixens from the '90s Soul Calibur as their muse, Ammerman and Schlösberg were inspired by players' ability to customize their characters' looks with no set rules. In addition, they fell captive to the idea of the cute damsel-in-distress with a dangerous dark side. “This season was our fantasy video game assassin girl,” said Ammerman to Purple Magazine.
Featuring a skimpy maid's uniform, a Sailor Moon-esque cropped top and skirt, and a standout gold mesh gown, this collection draws on many diverse themes and time periods—alongside said video game references. A LBD, the Slash N Puff Maiden Dress, features white satin ribbons woven throughout. The Fur Collar Leather Trench Coat, trimmed with gold mesh at the hems and an emerald green fur collar, gathers with a sweet bow in the back.
