Must-Wear Monday: Anime Goes High Fashion
Turn heads for all the right reasons.
ONE
PIECE/UNIQLO – It
should come as no surprise that Japan’s biggest anime would have a
fashion collaboration with Japan’s biggest (and hippest) retailer, Uniqlo. With well-designed t-shirts for both men
and women, their One Piece collection is sure to please any aspiring pirate-king.
OSAMU
TEZUKA/LACOSTE – The
world has seen manga’s founding father, Osamu Tezuka’s work adapted
into many different mediums, but
few as cool as Lacoste’s Tezuka collection. Based on some of Tezuka’s biggest properties (Black
Jack, Astro Boy), the Lacoste collection is
truly high class anime wear that will steal the show (and
possibly hearts) at the next big convention.
SPACE
BATTLESHIP YAMATO 2199/PLOT:
Not
every anime/fashion collaboration is a t-shirt, as evidenced by this
awesome Space
Battle Yamamto leather
bomber jacket by Japanese fashion house PLOT. Limited to 5000
pieces, this very stylish, fleece-lined coat is emblazoned with the
logo of the “United Nations Space Command.” In space, no one can hear onlookers scream in jealousy.
POKEMON/JASON
WU HANDBAGS – Ash
Ketchum has a little red backpack – why shouldn’t you? Designer
Jason Wu is selling an elegant bag that takes its main inspiration
from the key tool in any Pokemaniac’s arsenal: a Pokeball. Red and
White dominate this subtle, trendy knapsack that comes complete with Wu’s typical high-end flourishes. A
stylish accessory for anyone who just has to catch em’ all.
