And Ren flowers. Nana\u2019s favorite things never change.\u201d This iconic line from Ai Yazawa\u2019s <\/span><em><span>NANA<\/span><\/em><span> sparked a revolution in the early 00s for young fashion fans in Japan. Yazawa\u2019s revolutionary manga series was hugely influenced by the early work of Westwood, and while the intersection of English punk and Japanese manga may seem an unlikely one, those who\u2019ve read <\/span><em><span>NANA<\/span><\/em><span> know that Westwood\u2019s rebellious spirit is not only reflected in the protagonist\u2019s style, but deeply infiltrates Yazawa\u2019s narrative choices, too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Originally running from May 2000 to May 2009, <\/span><em><span>NANA<\/span><\/em><span> follows the story of two girls called Nana \u2013 Nana Osaki and Nana \u201cHachi\u201d Komatsu \u2013 polar opposites despite having the same name. Komatsu chases one crush after the other, dreaming about meeting her prince charming, while Osaki builds her own punk band in hopes of making it as a singer. The two meet during their journey to Tokyo, their lives intertwining in love, friendship, happiness and heartbreak. Praised for its intricate characterisation, beautiful artwork and heartbreaking storytelling, Yazawa also drew her characters in actual Vivienne Westwood designs, greatly contributing to the series\u2019 success. By the turn of the millennium, Westwood was already a significant figure in Japanese fashion \u2013 her first-ever international store opened in Tokyo in the 80s, and by the 90s and 00s, fashion-forward districts like Harajuku were saturated with her designs.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"a5ca0876-9421-4701-a699-b39800fab303\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/2000\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1430\/0\/1430860.jpg\" data-img-aspect-ratio-type=\"landscape\" data-img-aspect-ratio=\"1.51\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"landscape\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Vivienne Westwood x NANA\" class=\"img\" height=\"1988\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/1430860.jpg\" width=\"3000\" title=\"1430860\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"caption\">Vivienne Westwood x NANA <span class=\"nowrap\">capsule collection<\/span><\/span><span class=\"credit\">Courtesy of <span class=\"nowrap\">Vivienne Westwood<\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>As experts in their respective fields, Westwood and Yazawa are artists who\u2019ve transformed their industries. While Westwood brought forth a wave of aesthetic innovation, Yazawa defied traditional shoujo manga tropes by showcasing the complex nature of friendship. But before dedicating her life to manga, the illustrator originally studied to become a stylist at the Japanese fashion school Osaka Mode Gakuen. Her background in fashion formed the basis of her later work, with her series <em>Gokinjo Monogatari <\/em>and <em>Paradise Kiss<\/em> both centered around wannabe fashion designers, while her love for Westwood was cultivated in college. \u201cWestwood\u2019s designs are beautiful even when simply hung up, but they become infinitely more beautiful when worn on the human body,\u201d Yazawa said in <em>The World of Ai Yazawa\u2019s NANA<\/em>, the 2025 book commemorating the 40th anniversary of her career. It\u2019s rare to find fashionable styling in manga, where oftentimes characters are drawn with a single outfit to minimize the illustrator\u2019s workload. This is the opposite case for Yazawa, who always prioritised the balance between colour and silhouette in her characters\u2019 clothing. \u201cIt\u2019s a shame that I had to quit school, and I was frustrated at myself for not being able to manage both,\u201d Yazawa says. \u201cBut I decided to pour everything I wanted to do into manga, since I could design and style within my work as well.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In <\/span><em><span>NANA<\/span><\/em><span>, Westwood outfits populate Nana Osaki\u2019s wardrobe, the protagonist most associated with the British brand. She wears Westwood\u2019s signature Rocking Horse platforms as well as the heels Naomi Campbell famously toppled from on the AW93 runway. She\u2019s gifted a \u2018Love Jacket\u2019 by a fan (a crimson blazer with heart shaped lapels) and her closet is filled with more tartan jackets and corset tops, while her jewellery box features the iconic three row pearl drop choker. The first thing Nana Komatsu notices about Osaki is the limited edition armour ring on her finger, the character\u2019s signature Westwood piece and a way for Yawaza to establish the hardened armour she puts up against the world. Elsewhere, one of the most iconic items from the series is Shinichi Okazaki\u2019s Orb pendant lighter, which were originally produced in limited quantities in the 90s and can fetch upwards of \u00a33000 on resale platforms today.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"instagram-container embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"media-instagram\" data-script-depends=\"instagram-embeds\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>Thanks to these signature pieces, many <\/span><em><span>NANA<\/span><\/em><span> fans have become Vivienne Westwood jewellery collectors, with unboxing videos regularly going viral on TikTok and Instagram, like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@addyharajuku\/video\/7279509699261680929\"><span>this one<\/span><\/a><span> from J-fashion enthusiast Addy Harajuku. Elsewhere, fashion YouTubers like Lisa Fevral make longform content dedicated to <\/span><em><span>NANA<\/span><\/em><span> and its style influence. \u201c<em>NANA<\/em> influenced how I viewed aesthetics for a long time, until I started to see a lot more styles and complexity in high fashion collections,\u201d Fevral says. \u201cIt\u2019s probably one of the first pieces of media that I remember sticking with me in terms of fashion.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Fashion merchandiser and<\/span><em><span> NANA<\/span><\/em><span> stan Kassidy Law discovered her personal style through Vivienne Westwood\u2019s involvement in the manga. To her, the way <\/span><em><span>NANA<\/span><\/em><span>\u2019s fashion reflects not only the characters\u2019 tastes but their struggles and aspirations is extremely significant. \u201cThis connection highlights how art reflects life, illustrating how fictional elements can transcend into our everyday experiences and become powerful sources of inspiration,\u201d Law says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>For other budding artists in the fashion industry, <\/span><em><span>NANA<\/span><\/em><span> has been greatly influential on their creative journeys. Fashion designer Paris Zhuang says the incorporation of Westwood\u2019s style makes <\/span><em><span>NANA<\/span><\/em><span>\u2019s characters realistic, and their embodiment of the designer\u2019s ideals makes the garments come to life. \u201cGood fashion design always tells a story,\u201d Zhuang says. \u201cThe interrelationship of the two is a way to inspire not only designers, but also everyone else to connect with fashion on a personal level, showing how a simple garment can present someone\u2019s attitude, lifestyle, or story.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"src-youtube video-container embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"media-youtube\" data-id=\"UnRbgwe8_A8\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>Up until recently, these fans of the series have long-thought Yazawa\u2019s love of Vivienne Westwood unrequited \u2013 that was, until, the manga\u2019s 25th anniversary this year. On October 6, Vivienne Westwood\u2019s official Instagram confirmed that a collaboration between the British brand and Japanese manga was in the works. The first part of the link-up was an exclusive <\/span><em><span>NANA<\/span><\/em><span> 25th Anniversary Edition manga that features an original cover illustration by Yazawa depicting the two heroines on the Vivienne Westwood catwalk. The second part was a collection of clothing and accessories, all of which include exclusive packaging that features classic manga panels from <\/span><em><span>NANA<\/span><\/em><span>. Jewellery items consist of leather chokers, armour rings, and pearl necklaces, while clothing items include tartan corsets and dresses, Rocking Horse platforms, and Charm Frame purses. The highlight of this collection is a re-release of the Giant Orb lighter, limited to 250 units globally and engraved with its unique edition number.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The collection sold out immediately online, and fans lined up hours before stores opened to purchase items in person. The success of Vivienne Westwood and <\/span><em><span>NANA<\/span><\/em><span>\u2019s first collaboration shows that the two, like the manga\u2019s protagonists, share a unique, unbreakable bond. \u201cFor me, drawing a punk band and drawing Vivienne\u2019s clothes could not be separated,\u201d Yazawa said in a recent interview with the brand. \u201cThe collaboration items were designed to match the images of Nana and Hachi, and seeing them actually wearing them suited them both perfectly. Vivienne has always been, and still is, the creator I respect the most.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\"
