Is Lightning Final Fantasy's Most Fashionable Hero? | SKINS

Few video game characters have had the career Final Fantasy XIII's Claire Farron, AKA Lightning, has had. After starring in the wildly successful trilogy that sold over 10 million units worldwide, she caught the attention of Louis Vuitton's then-recently appointed creative director, Nicolas Ghesquière, who chose her as his latest muse. Fashion historian Amy de la Haye analyses the outfits of the pink-haired protagonist to understand what it is about the character that transcended video game screens to become a certified it-girl.
