Fashion designers have come to favor collaborations. But here comes quite a bizarre, or surreal one.

Prada has teamed up with Square Enix and Arena Homme+ in modeling the high-end brand's new collection on Final Fantasy XIII-2 characters.

The Italian label's casual menswear looks gorgeous on the men & women of the renowned video game, featured on the fashion magazine Arena Homme+.
The images are a combination of real photos and digital renders, made by Square Enix's Visual Works studio.

"Our Spring issue focuses on a world of direction and escapism, and having a visually stunning videogame franchise such as FINAL FANTASY work alongside us and a leading fashion brand like Prada to create something so unique is incredible," Max Pearmain, Arena Homme+'s editor, said.
"I've always been interested by the power of videogames and their place in society, and the amount of work that's gone into this project blows my mind. We're incredibly pleased with the result."

"The Final Fantasy series is known for its creativity and innovation; so working with Prada, a renowned fashion house with such beautiful clothing, was a very exciting opportunity," FFXIII-2 producer Yoshinori Kitase said.
"The images we have been able to create together are vibrant and unique."

The unusual collaboration celebrates Final Fantasy's 25th anniversary, and the magazine will go on sale on April 12.
