  • Earthbound creator Shigesato Itoi collaborates with Nintendo on fashion

    Earthbound creator Shigesato Itoi has partnered with Nintendo to make video game-themed clothing.
    Specifically, he's designed and mass produced haramaki, i.e. belly warmers.

According to Itoi's company Hobonichi, they were "once strictly functional underwear that had a grandpa-image similar to yellowing long johns." But then in 2001 Itoi started producing haramaki and seemingly willed them to catch on. (Thanks for the heads up, Tiny Cartridge.)
