MANGA
THE MANGA COLLECTION TAKES INSPIRATION FROM JAPAN AND THE VISUAL AND NARRATIVE UNIVERSE OF MANGA, A POPULAR FORM OF STORYTELLING ORIGINATING IN JAPAN THAT HAS CROSSED GENERATIONS, CULTURES AND BORDERS. MORE THAN A GENRE, MANGA FUNCTIONS AS A LANGUAGE – A WAY OF TELLING STORIES THROUGH IMAGES, HEIGHTENED EMOTIONS, CHARACTERS IN TRANSFORMATION AND IMAGINED WORLDS.INSPIRED BY AN AESTHETIC THAT MOVES BETWEEN INNOCENCE AND DARKNESS, FANTASY AND THE EVERYDAY, THIS COLLECTION TRANSLATES THE IMAGINARY MANGA INTO THE BESTIA UNIVERSE. SILHOUETTES, GRAPHICS AND CONTRASTS CONSTRUCT A NARRATIVE WHERE THE BODY BECOMES A CHARACTER AND CLOTHING AN EXPRESSION TOOL.
THE MANGA COLLECTION PROPOSES A CROSSING BETWEEN EAST AND WEST, POP CULTURE AND FASHION, WHERE IDENTITY IS UNDERSTOOD AS FLUID AND IN CONSTANT EVOLUTION, MUCH LIKE IN EVERY GOOD ILLUSTRATED STORY.
