Case Study 01：Moschino x THE SIMS 

Case Summary:  Moschino cooperated with THE SIMS, a classic life simulation video games to launch The pixel capsule series. The whole series has 8 limited pieces, which adopt the iconic pattern of "THE SIMS".

Editor's Comments: The new generation of consumers can spend a lot of money on things they love, such as star chasing, games, music, animation and sports. The trend of fashion industry being more entertaining and gamification is growing stronger.

In January of this year, M.A.C released a limited lip balm that cooperated with Honor of Kings, a multiplayer online battle game -- the product sold out extremely quickly. Moschino's crossover with THE SIMS brought the brand a lot of social buzz around the world. Many consumers and media took the initiative to forward and comment on social media platforms.

Through gamification of products, Moschino conveys a younger and more lively brand image to consumers, and at the same time, helps expand the brand's popularity and goodwill among game players, so as to attract more and wider consumer groups.

The risk of such collaboration is how well cross-disciplinary gamers fit into the brand's target audience, and how not to confuse brand culture too much.
