100 Days is an annual project at New York City’s School of Visual Arts that was founded by Michael Bierut. Each year, the students of the school’s Master’s in Branding Program spend 100 days documenting their process with a chosen creative endeavor. This year, we’re showcasing each student in the program by providing a peek into ten days of their project. You can keep an eye on everyone’s work on our SVA 100 Days page.
Have you ever wondered about the clothing you see in your favorite anime? In “100 Days of Fashion in Anime,” Bora, an avid manga reader and student in SVA’s Masters in Branding Program, explores the diverse garments worn by anime characters. Bora, who aspires to become a creative brand strategist and moonlights as a freelance writer, dives into the different styles seen in both contemporary and niche anime.
Every story transports its viewers to a different time and place, where the clothing meaningfully enhances the narrative. Bora not only finds dupes for readers interested in dressing like their favorite anime characters but also aims to learn more about Japanese culture through the clothes featured in anime and manga.
