A new line of clothing created by DJ Teki Latex uses the iconic imagery from Pac-Man to create shirts that feel like they belong to both the past and the present.
"The Pac-Man is a symbol of my generation," Teki said in a recent interview. "Classic yet modern.”
His new line, a collaboration with Japanese brand Phenomenon, is built around the iconic sliced-pie imagery of Pac-Man. "When you wear the cardigan on top of the tee shirt," Latex says, "the Pac-Man is hidden but the triangular shape still appears."
Games aren't the only geeky point of reference for the designer's new line. A cardigan sweater embellished with polar bears references the TV show Lost.
The "Teki Latex x Phenomenon" collection will be available online starting January 5. As with most bleeding-edge Japanese fashion, the designs won't come cheap. The T-shirts are 7140 yen (about $77), the polar cardigan the equivalent of $417.
