Splatoon
Yesterday, the Squid Research Lab announced the Inkling Fashion Week: special reports about the freshest fashion and trendiest brands in Inkopolis. Here’s the announcement:
It’s no secret that the Inklings are some of the best dressed squids in this (or any other) universe. In fact, those of you diligent enough to have found the Sunken Sea Scrolls may already know that the Inkopolis Collection fashion show happens twice a year!
We’re pleased to bring you Inkling Fashion Week* – a Squid Research Lab Special Report. After months of painstaking research, we’ll be sharing more information about the freshest fashion and trendiest brands in Inkopolis in order to help our squid fam keep it lit!** Check back tomorrow for our first fashion spread!
*Inkling Fashion Week will run longer than a week. The Squid Research Lab maintains all rights to use the word “fresh” too frequently.
**We’re told that a number of today’s youths use this expression although we have still not been able to ascertain the definition.
