Epic Games have announced a collaboration between hit battle royale title Fortnite and luxury fashion brand Balenciaga, allowing players to rock their high fashion fits when traversing the Island.

In recent years, we’ve seen multiple collaborations between luxury fashion brands and gaming and esports companies. Fnatic and 100 Thieves partnered with Gucci, while League of Legends has worked with Louis Vuitton.

While the two demographics aren’t typically viewed as ones that would naturally collide, there’s clearly a huge market for it, with Fortnite and Balenciaga announcing their collaboration.

So, with the in-game cosmetics set to match some real-world clothing coming out from the collaborators, here’s what you can unlock and how to get them.
