In the world of Grand Theft Auto<\/em>, art imitates life. Everything from the game’s maps and cars to its music, storylines and fashion lampoon real-world people, places and things. Now that we have the much-anticipated trailer for GTA 6<\/em>, which is set to take place in Vice City (a.k.a. Miami) in the fictional state of Leonida (a.k.a. Florida), fans have already begun to speculate about what\u2019s to be expected from gameplay, and many have even drawn up wish lists for the customization options, vehicles, campaigns and in-game radio station hosts they want to see in the next installment.<\/p>\n On the fashion front, there’s so much to be said about Florida’s style lexicon. It’s flashy. It’s neon. It lends from art deco just as much as it is does from gorpcore. It is enormously eclectic, and it spans the spectrum of functional outerwear and utilitarian streetwear to print-packed runway pieces and ostentatious luxury. There’s a bounty of brands that fit these descriptors, and we’d like to see Rockstar Games’ spin on them.<\/p>\n In GTA 5<\/em>, the developer took cues from several big-name brands to create its own knocked-off designers. Among them, \u201cBIGNESS\u201d was inspired by Supreme, with camouflage box logo hoodies and boldly-branded masks; \u201cMANOR DEM\u201d clearly riffed on Palace\u2019s Triferg iconography; \u201cSESSANTA NOVE\u201d adopted a similar monogram motif to Louis Vuitton; \u201cSQUASH\u201d offered a clever play on Tyler, the Creator\u2019s GOLF; \u201cOLD GEN\u201d was the real world\u2019s New Era for hats; and \u201cLE CHIEN\u201d took after Chanel for fragrances.<\/p>\n Now, looking ahead to GTA 6<\/em>, Hypebeast has crafted its own wish list of fashion collections that we hope to see inform the next installment of the game’s style. From high-end labels like Versace and Dior to Floridian classics like Columbia PFG and Volcom, see our selects below.<\/p>\n 1 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span>Casablanca<\/span>2 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span>Casablanca<\/span>3 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span>Casablanca<\/span>4 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span>Casablanca<\/span>5 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span>Casablanca<\/span><\/p>\n Casablanca’s loud luxuries are not for the faint of heart, but neither is Mia… ahem, Vice City. The brand\u2019s Spring 2021 collection, specifically, offers enough palm trees, beachscapes and rainbows to satisfy GTA VI<\/em>\u2019s statement makers, or those who\u2019d simply prefer to perform a heist in over-the-top style. Picture the wind-blown flutter of the label\u2019s classic silk shirts, after successfully hijacking a flashy convertible and blasting down the coastline. Who knows, maybe one of those slick scarves could become an unexpected weapon, too.<\/p>\n 1 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span>Versace<\/span>2 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span>Versace<\/span>3 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span>Versace<\/span>4 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span>Versace<\/span>5 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span>Versace<\/span><\/p>\n When you think of Miami\u2019s stalwarts, DJ Khaled quickly comes to mind. It\u2019s easy to imagine the big-time producer lounging around his $26 million USD waterfront estate in a gaudy, vintage Versace robe, whispering his ever-so-famous catchphrase \u2014 \u201cAnother one\u201d \u2014 to himself as he takes a second sip of his morning coffee. Versace\u2019s Spring 2013 collection embodies this image with a gladiator-like appeal, and GTA VI<\/em> should take note. It\u2019s not only the robes that exude true Miami energy; it\u2019s the pattern-clad suits, neon vests and shrunken swimwear that really drive the point home. Plus, the massive metal fighter belts only add to the ridiculousness of it all. If there\u2019s a Khaled-like character in the game, we sure hope he\u2019s attired as such.<\/p>\n 1 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span>Bluemarine<\/span>2 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span>Bluemarine<\/span>3 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span>Bluemarine<\/span>4 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span>Bluemarine<\/span>5 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span>Bluemarine<\/span><\/p>\n GTA VI<\/em> will become the first title in the series to have a female protagonist, and she\u2019ll need just as expansive a wardrobe as her male counterparts. Her name is Lucia, and just as much as she\u2019s tied up in the thrill of the heist, she\u2019s also anchored by her love for partner-in-crime, Jason. Blumarine’s\u00a0Resort 2023 collection almost mirrors Lucia\u2019s identity: it\u2019s stealthy, romantic and feminine. The collection, at large, offers a perfect blend of utilitarianism and flattery \u2014 all with a sartorial edge. It\u2019s also ideal for a Floridian date night by the sea, if Lucia and Jason can ever find a break from the game\u2019s chaos, but that might be wishful thinking.<\/p>\n 1 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span>Bluemarine<\/span>2 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span>Bluemarine<\/span>3 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span>Bluemarine<\/span>4 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span>Bluemarine<\/span>5 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span>Bluemarine<\/span><\/p>\n Kim Jones’ Dior Pre-Fall 2020 runway certainly played a role in turning Miami into a more-serious American fashion capital. Sporting artwork by Shawn Stussy, with accessories from Matthew M. Williams and jewelry by AMBUSH\u2019s Yoon Ahn, the collection teetered the line between streetwear and high-fashion with expertise. Jones\u2019 ultra-vibrant, logo-laden knits play into the city\u2019s love for art deco design, and the flower-sprouting bucket hats easily transition between metropolitan missions and beachside business. Storing a weapon inside a saddle bag wouldn\u2019t be too shabby, either.<\/p>\n 1 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span>Stray Rats<\/span>2 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span>Stray Rats<\/span>3 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span>Stray Rats<\/span>4 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span>Stray Rats<\/span>5 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span>Stray Rats<\/span><\/p>\n Stray Rats is the streetwear product of South-Floridian designer Julian Consuegra, who moved to Miami in the year 2000 to entrench himself in the capital\u2019s hardcore music scene. He\u2019s inspired by subcultures, and his designs often riff on video games, comics, films and music \u2014 with strong roots in the city\u2019s own players. He\u2019s since moved to New York, where he runs the brand with J.R. Ewing, but there\u2019s strong Miamian blood that pumps through his design codes that GTA VI<\/em>\u00a0would be smart to reference. Stray Rats’ “Ratgirl” logo items would be a perfect fit for players that want to give Lucia a streetwear twist, too.<\/p>\n 1 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span>Volcom<\/span>2 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span>Volcom<\/span>3 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span>Volcom<\/span>4 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span>Volcom<\/span>5 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span>Volcom<\/span><\/p>\n Like a true Floridian, GTA<\/em> VI<\/em>\u2019s characters should share a passion for Volcom. The skate-surf label speaks to Miami\u2019s multi-faceted lifestyle, and its popularity among the state\u2019s residents mirrors the likes of Rip Curl or Reef. Those who grew up with a liking for skatewear and surfwear know the brand well, and references to its signatures would surely spark reminiscence for many players. Volcom\u2019s Summer 2022 collection is filled with graphic streetwear staples that feel synonymous with the sartorial language of GTA<\/em>\u2019s costume creators. There\u2019s even a \u201cFlorida Tee\u201d that would pin the tail right on the donkey.<\/p>\n 1 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span>Vetements<\/span>2 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span>Vetements<\/span>3 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span>Vetements<\/span>4 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span>Vetements<\/span>5 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span>Vetements<\/span><\/p>\n Miami is full of color; but at the core of Grand Theft Auto<\/em> is criminal behavior, and many engaging in the like would probably prefer to do so incognito. Vetements’ Fall 2020 collection should be the blueprint for GTA<\/em>\u2019s stealthiest players. Black hoodies and leather jackets will steer away any unwanted attention, while still managing to appear intimidating. There\u2019s also a T-shirt featuring an icon of a crossed-out phone with the lettering \u201cNO SOCIAL MEDIA THANK YOU,\u201d for those who want to make their intentions extremely clear. There\u2019s one exception: the fiery heels in Look 1 are built to make a violent carjacking even more badass.<\/p>\n 1 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span>Saul Nash<\/span>2 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span>Saul Nash<\/span>3 of 5<\/span><\/span><\/span>Casablanca Spring 2021<\/h3>\n
