Fashion label BlackMilk Clothing is preparing for a second foray into the Forgotten Realms, announcing that a new official Dungeons & Dragons collection is set to launch. This marks the brand’s second collaboration with the tabletop roleplaying giant, following a popular release in 2024.
The upcoming range promises 18 new pieces that draw inspiration from the rich lore of D&D. While the Australian apparel company is known for its bold patterns, this new collection seems poised to explore some of the darker corners of the multiverse. Fans can expect designs featuring the sinister, tentacled Mind Flayer, a psychic horror that dwells in the Underdark.
Also making an appearance is the ever-dangerous Gelatinous Cube, an iconic dungeon trap that has dissolved many an unwary adventurer over the years. The infamous vampire lord of Barovia, Strahd von Zarovich, who was a feature in the first collection, is also slated to return, likely bringing his gothic menace to a new range of garments.
For those whose interests lie in the grander cosmology of the D&D universe, the collection will also pay homage to the Lady of Pain. The enigmatic, bladed ruler of the city of Sigil is a deep cut from the classic Planescape setting, suggesting the designers have been delving into the game’s extensive back catalogue. As one might expect, the twenty-sided die, the ultimate arbiter of fate in any D&D game, will also be featured.
This new campaign in clothing builds on the success of the first team-up in early 2024, which celebrated the 50th anniversary of Dungeons & Dragons. As covered by Geek Native and other pop culture sites, geek fashion collaborations remain a popular way for fans to express their interests. The previous line included items like a Monster Manual print dress and a bomber jacket fit for any Dungeon Master.
The new collection will offer a mix of dresses, statement pieces, and unisex styles. Adventurers hoping to add to their wardrobe can preview the full collection on the BlackMilk website from July 4th.
The official launch is scheduled for 7 a.m. AEST on July 8th, which translates to 10 p.m. BST on the evening of July 7th for fans in the UK. All pieces will be available exclusively from the BlackMilk Clothing website.
