Nana (Ai Yazawa, 2000): a ligação do mangá com a marca Vivienne Westwood

Abstract

This academic essay has the intention of showing the direct and indirect relationship between the designer Vivienne Westwood and Nana, how one influenced the other and vice versa, how this impacted the time of publication and what were their inspirations for the date. Knowing that clothing can mark the passage of time and show what is in vogue, this study goes beyond a comparison of similarities and differences of correlated elements, but presents the context behind what led to it. The methodology used was documentary research, because besides using official documents, it also uses films, videos, interviews, and web pages to support the argumentation to be developed. As a result, it is found more than a mutual support of references of a specific subgroup/style, but also the record of an era and what made both the brand and the work remarkable for its generation.
