“With mobile game market valued at 120 Billion USD in 2021 with 7.7% year on year growth, it is an unmissable space for a fashion brand like mine to explore and reach new audiences. It has been fantastic to collaborate with Nordcurrent – I have loved the process of transforming my designs into digital fashion items and am very excited to see how Pocket Styler gamers will interact and style our creations. It is a new experience, launching the collection as clothing and virtually within the app, allowing more people than ever to own one of my designs.” – David Koma, Founder and Creative Director

Introducing real fashion brands in Pocket Styler is a natural progression as the game grows, and it is enthusiastically supported by millions of players. It is a pleasure to work with David Koma, a fashion designer who is curious and determined to explore the potential of mobile games as an environment to build relationships with fashion lovers all over the world. I believe this is just the beginning of a wonderful journey for both our teams and, of course, all our customers and players.” – Victoria Trofimova, Nordcurrent co- founder and CEO
