Notably, each component of the skin had been separately designed by the fashion house. Even the driver’s outfit and accessories were carefully crafted.

This demonstrates that PlayStation and Dior both exercised considerable caution in order to protect their brand values.

The skins were designed with the 60s and 80s in mind. This idea was inspired by the design of the De Tomaso Mangusta, also famously called the Goose“, itself. Additionally, the car is very popular among the GT fanbase because of its legendary status.

Reportedly, this is the first venture for Dior in the gaming universe. Hence, this might change the whole industry, as more and more fashion houses might collaborate together with other games to showcase their wardrobe collections.

What do fans think about the collaboration?

Many fans were extremely hyped as a collaboration like this might change both the fashion and the gaming industry for good. As day-by-day skins are becoming a huge part of any gameplay experience, such collaborations might help both industries to flourish for good.
