Designed as a brainstorming tool, this manifesto explores new formats combining video game worlds and virtual clothing. Rather than focusing on the aesthetics of digital outfits, the manifesto emphasizes their interactive potential and proposes original game mechanics in which clothing plays a central role.

Wear the Game: Designing Narratives for Digital Fashion is an invitation to consider the act of wearing virtual clothes as a playful experience in its own right. It advocates a conception of digital fashion where clothing is no longer a product, but a narrative, relational and introspective interface, grounded in connection, memory, attention and care—rather than competition or accumulation.
