Manga and Fashion – NANA (part 2)- Ren & Sid Vicious – Bass players of punk rock band

In this part, I want to mention about the connnection between Ren & Sid Visious ( bass player in Sex Pistol band- a punk rock band)

In profile of Sid Vicious, he also had a famous love story with Nancy as Ren has with Nana. Morever, Sid Vicious also got addticted to heroin. In Nana, Ren also get invole same case. It seems that Sid Visious is a source of inspiration for Ai Yazawa to establish Ren’s characteristics. 

 

Therefore, it’s easy to understand why Ren’s tyle has same as Sid Vicious’s style

The most special thing is the punk rock necklace

I have ever felt that Ai is a genious when creating this kind of necklake in this manga. However, I suspect her when discovering that she can bring this kind of fashion trend into a new look, even become hotter.

 

Moreover, Ren and Sid Vicious has same clothes and hair style

In Nana, Ai Yazawa already mentioned about Sex Pistol.

And, in part 1, I found out that Vivienne Westwood fashion belongs to punk rock style.

Interesting!!!!!

Manga & Fashion – Part 1- NANA – Armour ring of Vivienne Westwood

One of the best ring ever of Vivienne WEstwood

Vivienne Westwood, Silver Armour Ring (equally beautiful in gold).

Nana brings not only powerful emotion but also unique fashion trend. Vivienne should thank for Ai :)) 

Anyway, love Ai so much! an original mangaka.

In Manga

In live-action

Moreover, through Nana manga, Ai mentioned about Armour rinng- a kind of fashion trend which seems strange to many ppl. I did not think this kind of ring even exist in fashion world until reading this manga.

But Armour ring nearly is suitable for Gothic style,,,,,anyway, person who use it, must have strong emotion inside.

Some Armour Ring samples, I think they’re nice with uniquie designs
