Art Portfolio First Research
Gucci x Jojo
"Gucci X Hirohiko Araki X Spur (GUCCI × HIROHIKO ARAKI × SPUR), also known as the Rohan Kishibe Goes to Shinjuku Exhibitio, was an exhibit held in Shinjuku, Tokyo from September 17 to October 6, 2011, at the Shinjuku Takano Building.
Announced on August 23, 2011, it was a collaboration between the fashion company Gucci, the women's fashion magazine Spur and manga author Hirohiko Araki.
The event's main highlight was their first collaborative comic, Rohan Kishibe Goes to Gucci, a short graphic novel that celebrated the reopening of Gucci Shinjuku, the 90th anniversary of Gucci, and the 30th anniversary of Hirohiko Araki." (Gucci x Hirohiko Araki x Spur)
The famous Manga, Japanese comics, and Italian Haute Couture come together thanks to the brilliant collaboration born between two gurus from completely different worlds but destined to intersect. Frida Giannini, Gucci art director, and renowned manga artist Hirohiko Araki set to work to create one of the funniest and most engaging collaborations of these times. Superbly colored dream characters will rotate the windows of over 70 Gucci boutiques around the world in January and February 2013, where extravagance, energy, and sensuality are the watchwords of the new Cruise Collection by Gucci. A very special invitation to immerse yourself in the fantastic world of Fashion Manga.
I was attracted to this collaboration for the technique of the drawings of the collection, the technique used was the classic one to draw a manga for this reason also the particularity of the details of the clothes is completely different. Even the silhouettes of the drawn mannequins are much more muscular than the classic silhouettes that are drawn to make a collection. Usually, they remain very delicate but since the peculiarity of this manga is precisely the part of marking the body one of the details when I looked at the anime was the very marked jaw even in women.
This is the picture of the anime and how I said before the artist has chosen to use marked lines especially as regards the face and his drawings are not delicate at all, however they make them special and different. Even if it's not my kind of technical structure for designing the collection
