NANA's Ai Yazawa Contact Lens Collection

A brand-new collaboration is celebrating the timeless heroines created by legendary manga artist Ai Yazawa, transforming some of her most beloved characters into a stylish collection of color contact lenses inspired by their unforgettable personalities and expressions.

Ai Yazawa is one of Japan’s most celebrated manga creators, with works including NANA, Neighborhood Story, Tenshi Nanka Ja Nai and Paradise Kiss continuing to attract fans around the world thanks to their memorable characters, distinctive fashion and emotional storytelling.

The new collection features five lens colors based on heroines from four of Yazawa’s most iconic series, with each design carefully created to capture the atmosphere, emotions and unique charm reflected in each character’s eyes while remaining suitable for everyday wear.

Representing NANA, the Veil Black design inspired by Nana Osaki reflects the singer’s strong yet fragile personality through a black outer ring accented with soft gray highlights that create a striking but elegant gaze, while its 13.5 mm colored diameter offers noticeable definition without looking unnatural.
