What Would a Japanese Bad Boy Look Like in the Future? Wacko Maria x Ghost in the Shell Might Have the Answer
Anime collaborations are often a hit-or-miss phenomenon.
Fashion brands continue to churn out crossbreeds of Japan's most beloved manga and anime franchises, but rarely do they ever hit quite right.
Although, if one brand was capable of not only making a collaboration with an anime and manga good but also downright badass, it would be the anti-heroes of Tokyo’s fashion universe, Wacko Maria; they have just done exactly this. Presenting “Heavenly Tokyo”, the Wacko Maria x Ghost in the Shell Collection is a sight of pure beauty.
As the Tokyo terrors of fashion step foot into New Port City, they invite us into their signature style with a cybernetic makeover. The collection sees the cult classic Wacko Maria all-over print shirts embellished with fan favourite moments and artworks from Ghost in the Shell. Also included in the drop are crewnecks with similar aesthetics.
The Tokyo-based bad boy brand proves that you don’t need to be a nerd in order to love things like anime and manga.
Like a forbidden fruit of fashion, taking a bite out of this succulent collision of two worlds that are galaxies apart feels so wrong, yet tastes so right. An unlikely pairing of two behemoths in Japanese culture, The Wacko Maria x Ghost in the Shell collaboration is something that we may have never seen coming but now that we have, we need it. Coming in an array of colours and designs, the collaboration comes just in time for Summer.
