Infinity Nikki combines inspirational fashion from all over the world with magical outfits that longtime fans have come to appreciate over the years. It’s not clear where they get their inspiration for the themes and ideas, but they love their job and have a deep respect for fashion.
So, how about we play with the reverse a little? Let’s look at some high fashion designers, some you may know and some you won’t, and muse about how each choice could fit into the cutest cozy game.
Dresses/outfits don’t generally have a name when presented on stage, so we’ll only include the collection they’ve been featured in.

Guo Pei
1001 And Two Nights, 2009
Taking inspiration from the infamous Arabian Nights fairy tale, One Thousand and One Nights, Guo Pei pushes the boundaries between fashion, storytelling, and art with each piece of the 2009 exhibit. Stories of what women experience: truth and lies, trust and betrayal, and all within the fabric. The looks are almost ethereal.
While each dress is impressively well-made, this one is showstopping. The design represents ceramic artwork with a similar design. The cut is a mermaid cut with a long train. Nikki’s wardrobe has a few dresses similar to the Whispers of Waves Resonance dress, so it would be right at home.

Armani Prive
Haute Couture 2024 Spring Summer Collection
Armani is a well-known name, even if you aren’t into fashion. This collection likes to play with vivid colors and even fabrics that can look like glass. However, this stand-out dress combines the long ballroom look with the silhouette of a ballerina-style skirt, making an unlikely combination.
Nikki, at least so far, has played with iconic looks like princesses, fairies, and elemental deities, but not ballerinas. Her outfit representing a prima ballerina going to a ball is Infinity Nikki coded. This outfit only lacks cohesive accessories that will make it pop.

Vivienne Westwood
Audrey, Fall Winter Bridal Collection 2019-2020
Vivienne Westwood pioneered the UK fashion scene with her punk-rock leanings back in the 1970s. Though this is the case, her bridal wear is on a whole new level. There are a few ballroom-type dresses for those who like the tradition, but she and her team of designers truly shine when they step from the traditional.

Enjoy the thrill of the draw without having to worry about any of those pesky multiplayer elements in these Single-Player games.
This dress resembles the beautiful, old-school dresses of the roaring 1920s, with a slim silhouette, shiny silk fabrics, and long pieces of jewelry to boot. Infinity Nikki explores various looks from various points in time. Maybe sometime soon, they’ll come around to the early eras of American fashion.

Elie Saab
Autumn/Winter 2023-2024
On the opposite end of the fashion origin spectrum, the Lebanese designer Elie Saab started his journey in the 1980s with his unique take on bridal fashion, incorporating intricate beadwork and Swarovski crystals to create one-of-a-kind pieces of art. This dress and hood combination invokes a quiet mystery while the golden, droplet-shaped jewels cascade down the back.
While Nikki has the power to purify now, maybe in a future patch she can learn to harness the dark energy that has allowed the Essings to thrive throughout the land. That, or command over a new power entirely. This outfit has a unique and mystical gravitas that sets it apart from other ensembles.

Zuhir Murad
Tweed Mini Dress, A Step Back From The Runway
The journey on the runway has been a fantastic one. Let’s take a step back into something a little more practical. This tweed dress pays homage to the clean-cut 1950s. The lines of the dress are simple and complement the monochromatic color scheme. Pair this with a cute pair of black shoes and pearl earrings, and you are traveling back in time with style.

Nikki tends to err on the side of bright colors and sparkling textures, even in her less formal outfits. This outfit gives off cute temporary event vibes that transport Nikki to another era or dimension of time that’s theme-appropriate. It’d stand out for some in comparison, but with a little accessory tweaking, it would fit in your wardrobe just fine.

Marchesa
Look 10, Spring 2024
Named after artist Augustus John’s lover, every Marchesa piece celebrates softness and femininity. The color palette plays with soft pastels contrasting with pure black fabrics. This dress plays with these contrasts in ways that make you think it’s playing tricks with your vision.
All the pastel colors are in the middle, while the black envelops it, giving the illusion of a mysterious type of orchid. It would be hard to get the gradient right in the game to give the same type of illusion. But knowing how much they care about how each outfit looks down to the minute details, the team at Infold would figure it out.

Prada Space Suit
Space Exploration Goes Haute Couture
It doesn’t seem like the Prada and Space Suit would ever have a reason to be in the same sentence, but this isn’t the first time a fashion brand has reached beyond its typical scope. This time, they’ve teamed up with Axiom Space, the company that assists in ISS operations. The suit is set to be ready for use in 2026 for the first manned trip to the moon since 1972.
The Nikki franchise has teased space before, with outfits themed around space, as well as a Barbie collaboration that involved Barbie’s iconic space suit. This would be perfect for continuing the tradition, or even taking it a step further by letting Nikki explore the stars in full-on 3D.
