Nintendo's Fashion Runway Show

Giorgio Armani, Gianni Versace, Dolce & Gabbana. These are the names that immediately come to mind when one thinks of legendary Italian couture. And you can now add Mario and Luigi to that distinguished list. The fashion world has been abuzz since the pair debuted its new line of Nintendo-themed t-shirts, hats, backpacks and other apparel at a recent runway show in the Nintendo World Store in New York's Rockefeller Center.

You want the truth? It was actually Nintendo putting on the show, and not two fictional video-game characters. And, well, it's a pretty safe bet to assume that the fashion world failed to acknowledge the event. Still, this isn't your run-of-the-mill, crappy corporate propaganda -- these clothes definitely have style. Check them out for yourself in the gallery below.

SPOILER ALERT! This gallery contains photos of a pale, overweight gentleman in 'Super Mario Bros.' underwear. You've been warned.

Ooh, I have the Mario shirt that the chick on the far right is wearing! It looks great. :D Though my Mario is just slightly more 3D than hers is, hahahahaha.
