NINTENDO STRUTS ITS STUFF WITH ENYCE DURING LOS ANGELES FASHION WEEK
Cutting-Edge Clothing Designer Showcases One-of-a-Kind Nintendo Fashion
REDMOND, Wash., Oct. 25, 2004 - To celebrate the synergy between two popular lifestyle brands, a runway model for hip-hop clothier Enyce on Monday sported one-of-a-kind T-shirt featuring Nintendo video game icon. The shirt, showcasing Donkey Kong® helped kick off Fashion Week in Los Angeles.
The star-studded fashion show included Laurence Fishburn, Tisha Campbell, Mimi Rogers, Simon Rex, Theron Benymon, David Allen Grier and socialite Casey Johnson. Nintendo-sponsored the after-party following the fashion show. Party-goers got to sample the hottest games for Nintendo GameCube, including one of the most highly anticipated games for the holidays, Metroid® Prime 2 Echoes.
"Enyce is an originator in the urban fashion sector, and Nintendo is an originator in the gaming world," says Enyce co-founder Tony Shellman. "It feels very natural for our brands to be collaborating."
Nintendo plans to auction the one-of-a-kind T-shirt worn by the Enyce model on the runway and donate the proceeds to charity. VIPs at the show received gift bags containing a separate limited-edition branded T-shirt designed by Enyce, a Nintendo GameCube and the hottest video games for the holidays. Nintendo and Enyce anticipate that the fashion show will be the first of many activities together.
