How Anime NANA Honors Vivienne Westwood's Iconic Pieces
The Mangaka love for the Saturn planet's collection
'Vivienne Westwood, The Sex Pistols, Seven Star Cigarettes, coffee milk with strawberry cake and lotus flowers...'
While Vivienne Westwood's designs evolve with time, some of our old favorites remain constant. With the comeback of Vivienne Westwood's Diamante Heart Pendant necklace now available online and across all boutiques, we ponder the thought of our affection for Saturn Planet's legendary punk pieces in the Y2K era. We know that Manga Artist Ai Yazawa undoubtedly has a sentiment of love for it, especially paying homage to the pieces in her latest popular 2000's Shoujo Japanese Anime/Manga "NANA".
Nana follows two girls with the same name and age (but complete opposites!) arriving in Tokyo and entering a new chapter in their lives. As fate does its duty with the girls crossing paths many times, they become roommates with dramatic plots and realism of entering young adulthood. Nana is known for its early 2000s Harajuku fashion subcultures particularly expressing their unique style, Vivienne Westwood. Despite being on hiatus for years, it has become highly popular on TikTok. It has and is still inspiring many girls to come out of a Vivienne Westwood wardrobe that makes them feel like a confident Nana character. We did a deep dive into the character's outfits that collide around Vivienne Westwood:
1. The heart-shaped Blazer
The trendy Vivienne Westwood 90's bright red blazer with a black collar creates a heart-shaped illusion when buttoned up! One of the Main Characters Nana Osaki wears this piece in official arts and a couple of episodes in the anime.
2. Saturn Orb Jewelry/ accessories
Of course, it wouldn't be Vivienne Westwood without the signature pearl saturn orb necklaces, rings, and earrings, including a lighter worn by many characters in the show. Japanese magazine Kera has a special feature of much of Vivienne Westwood's jewelry Nana dedicates to.
3. Corsets
Different colors of Vivienne Westwood's sinch corsets with printed Saturn planet logo are easy-to-wear pieces for the Nana characters to fusion their aesthetics with.
4. Trousers
The "Black Stones" band members in Nana nod to many of Vivienne Westwood's Punk culture pieces. Male band members wear checkered trousers from Vivienne Westwood's 1974 “Bondage” collections many times.
5. Shoes
Nana Osaki is never afraid to be head-to-toe in Vivienne Westwood's, even in shoes! Wearing Vivienne Westwood Rocking Horse Ballerina shoes. Bringing the punk meets ballet twist.
