Exclusive NANA Manga Apparel Collection Announced by HARE
Japanese fashion brand HARE has officially announced an upcoming apparel collaboration inspired by the popular and critically acclaimed shojo manga series, NANA.
The “NANA x HARE Collaboration Collection” is set to join the brand’s catalog of culture and art-infused modern clothing.
NANA is a massively popular 2000s series created by Ai Yazawa that follows the intertwined lives and romances of two young women who share the same first name.
The series is celebrated for its highly relatable characters and the deep focus on their personal fashion styles.
This new collection features eight different garments directly inspired by the contrasting aesthetics of the two protagonists.
Pieces based on Nana Osaki channel her strong personality and punk rock sensibilities with cool yet delicate feminine details.
Items inspired by the innocent Nana Komatsu, also known as Hachi, combine girly charm with elegant designs using frills and layered lace.
