    Before game apps like Tiny Wings or Angry Birds grew in popularity among young and old smartphone users alike, there was Scrabble, checkers, Twister, and a universal love for remote-control cars; all addictive pursuits that pre-dated the tap, tap, swipe of a touch screen. Blame it on the nostalgic nineties theme playing out across the runways, but it seemed to us that those pre-digital era amusements-which undoubtedly entertained many budding young designers during recess-seemed to pop out from spring 2013 collections like subliminal messages (or should that be nineties Magic Eye images?). Whether Louis Vuitton's graphic checkerboard dresses or 3.1 Phillip Lim's Scrabble-effect neo-grunge slogan tee is lingering on your wish list, if your iPhone runs out of battery at any point next season, at least your closet will double as a ultra-chic backdrop for entertainment.
