the most stylish anime aka the cheat code to improving your style! (nana, paradise kiss etc)

[@MissChloeLennon]

completely unrelated to the context of the vid, but as a long-time plus size viewer, I just have to say it always means so much to see Katie using images of plus size models in her moodboards/inspo - it’s something that you rarely ever see others doing and it truly goes such a long way in seeing representation and seeing bigger people as stylish and part of the fashion world too. thank you Katie, always love your vidssss 💖

I went to university to be a fashion designer because of Paradise Kiss. The only thing I can say is that it's true that fashion students look for models on the streets LOL. Now I work in the industry. I'm forever thankful to Yazawa Ai for her impact on my life.

[@stvrlighy]

I know this is 6 months later but i’m also interested in fashion because of Paradise Kiss and just wanted to ask how did you like start getting in to fashion? Cause I wanna start but have no idea how.

[@user-dk7qf1pm2j]

​@@stvrlighyI think ai yazawa wanted to be a fashion designer before becoming a manga artist

[@ticket5365]

I watched paradise kiss and I'm literally changing my degree to fashion design because it made me realise what I actually want to do in life:Dd

[@Nothereforit174]

@@ticket5365don’t you do that unlsss you know you’re ready for the grind because if you’re not used to making designs with your hands(you need to know how to sew before the first day or they’re gonna ask why you walked in there), sketching them well, don’t have original artistic vision you can show off (they may ask you to bring in some stuff your first week to give an idea of where you’re at and what you’re trying to get to), knowledge beyond Paradise kiss of fashion, and more you should’ve already studied....then this is just something you’re excited about as a topic. Can you theoretically start over years behind all your pears and become successful? Yeah but ask yourself do you normally have that kind of determination to catch up and if you think you can be a very self taught Coco Chanel type or like the Selkie dress founder, people with exceptional to legendary talent who don’t mind working with little money(you have a rich family?) or can you work on other projects to sell while you make your fashions at night because most of your day with be making and selling of goods. Would you be okay if you never get past that level like some people who have shops and will likely be unknown except for a niche most of their life? They’re great and respect by those who find them but if you can’t put in those hours and turn that into your only work if you don’t make in a certain number of years(gotta maximize profit and figure out how to merge passion with what pays the bills then), then you’ll be miserable. Of course you can work for someone else but you don’t need a degree for that if you do your du diligence and network but a degree is for someone who wants a chance to command the ship with their own line in some way. Just want you to know since it’s easy to get wrapped up:) if it’s your path though, I’m cheering for you, consider no school too ir what subjects you like already and what you’d do in the community if you could. See if something merges from that. Worked for me

[@sierrak1189]

6:18 YES to a video on the more shojo esque outfits! Would love to see your take on it. I also 100% agree on waiting for your mental health to improve prior to watching and/or reading Nana. It took me years to get through the whole series because of how emotionally heavy it can be.

[@Carolina-pu4cp]

Hachi's outfits are inspired by 60s, maybe because her family was poor, and most of her clothes were given from her mother before 15th birthday and Hachi started to work.

[@Mia-yk2is]

I didn’t watch nana until uni, but parakiss was definitely a major influence in my style since middle school (and still today tbh) it was far from the only anime/manga that was a fashion influence (there were too many to list but include sailor moon, shugo chara, cardcaptor sakura or anything CLAMP tbh, honey and clover, etc) but it was a main one

[@Sohotchic]

No way, I just finished the Paradise Kiss manga yesterday 🥺 the timing is amazing tyyyyyy

[@a-yam943]

Nana has influenced my style so much!!

[@AislingBlack]

All these comics had such a impact on my style and life and heart. I remember before it was even translated I had a poster of Mikako on my wall. I had Korean and Japanese versions of Yazawa stuff and I was OBSESSED. I really wanted to be Miwako big time when I was a teenager, pink hair is still the best hair color for me, and I started wearing strawberry lotion and washing my hair with strawberry shampoo I found at the local Japanese market... And I love Nana so much. I am so happy these stories are having a renaissance because the fashion in them is so interesting and fun!

[@ash_ley369]

I’m Japanese, lived in Australia from the 90s and currently living in Korea. I grew up on mangas like Sailormoon and Yazawa Ai but every time I bought back clothes from Japan couldn’t wear most of it in Aus cos the seasons are opposite and aesthetics were sooo different!😅 Love seeing you embrace fashion from different cultures💖

[@Angel.aaa109]

Love the Hachi looks so much, also a southern hemisphere so they're so perfect for spring!!

[@RandomBailey2011]

I love that you love Ai Yazawa 😭 Nana was so formative for me at 14. Parakiss really hit me last year. I feel like all the people I trust & just adore artistically are into Ai!! I really, really loved your Gokinjo Monogatari looks!! The curls at the end of your hair with the bright color scheme made you pop!! You made pop art!! 💗💛🩵

[@tessarose8430]

you nailed it, as usual!! i'm not even an anime/manga girly but i'm so happy you're bringing these videos back because they always give me something new to be inspired by!

[@HopeeInk]

I recently started rewatching Nana on Netflix after ten years had no idea that it had impacted me that much in the choices of clothes I made. I loved every outfit you created.

[@dorotaisqueen3650]

Omg I would LOVE a shoujo inspired outfit video!!! I also just love it when you do videos on stuff u'r really passionate about, hearing u talk abt it is so fun!

[@riverAmazonNZ]

I like the shojo style of Satoni Ikezawa - so bubbly and cheerful. Othello is my fave I think. It has sweet and edgy looks.

[@Omnibushido-]

Nana didn’t really cause an exterior glow up for me, but mostly an interior one. Watching and reading Nana made me feel like a mirror was being held to my soul and I was forced to deal with all of my shortcomings and selfishness. Beautiful series.

Paradise Kiss and Nana are a major part of the reason I went to school for fashion (introduced me to Vivienne Westwood at the ripe young age of 11 lol)! Ai Yazawa's manga played a huge role in my personal style growing up and I will never not absolutely adore them for it! Thanks for making this video!!

[@alpaq6273]

For me it was GALS! by Mihona Fuji that absolutely changed my life. Absolutely adore fashion themed series. The styles are so beyond, and you've done a great job translating it to real life and capturing the essence ~

I loved Nana i actually have her cigarette clip finger sleeve. Its the coolest accessory aside from ren's lock necklace that Nana has the key to. But I love hachi too. Her white dress with black sleeves and tights is actually been my dream to wear for my wedding someday. I wanted a whole anime cosplay themed wedding. I started reading Nana in high school the shojo magazines and then the subbed anime after. Now i see my neice wearing things inspired by that look and she loves the anime as well.

I hardly (almost never) give compliments when I see other youtubers' styles so the fact that I am about to say that your fits look insanely good speak volumes! Especially those at 03:38, 05:01, 06:25, 07:10, 10:12, 12:04, 14:06. I adore ❤

[@AndSoWeLaughed]

I've just stumbled across your channel and I'm very very happy. My style is non-existent at the moment, but I do prefer a minimal Uniqlo kind of look. I wouldn't really dress like this, but the way Ai drew her clothes and embodied characters through Fashion has ALWAYS had a chokehold on me. I LOVE your styling and it's incredibly beautiful, even your justifications make sense to me, even if I'm not a fashion girly. And can I just say - THANK YOU for including different body types and races (and probably even gender expression) within your reference photos. Very very refreshing to see!!

[@IceQueen975]

Yuko Ichihara from CLAMP's xxxHolic is a character I *desperately* wanna be like. I, too, wanna Know Shit, intimidate everyone and be styled to the 9s. But I always get... afraid to dress like she would. Some of my pieces have hints of it but I've never like... gone fully into it. I get too afraid it will look bad on me, the style. But generally, all of CLAMP's works are super stylish imo. No one really talks about it, though.

long comment coming up but i must say it… i LOVED this video!!! i always love your videos, mostly because i’m a fashion girlie but also because you’re so calming to watch. i feel like my style is pretty different than yours but i honestly really appreciate that because it gives me a different look on pieces and putting them together. also i LOVE basing outfits off of “niche” things that i like just because… and even though i’ve never watched nana i was so excited to watch this video bc i knew you would do it justice. that was a lot. i hope it wasn’t too scatter brained ;) 💗💗

[@LaceyMyriah]

I have had my eye on those NANA figures as well… unfortunately I don’t have any cash portioned out for those yet ❤ let me just say, YOU have been a big influence in my fashion glow up. Goodness knows I’ve always ALWAYS been into fashion and never been afraid of expressing myself… but the translation from the brain to the body has been a challenge for me. Just adding MORE to my outfits has been a huge inspiration (a la you) and really leveled up my own style. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t putting together each Nana in a cosplay for Anime Con in a few months… I’m definitely a Nana O gal on the day to day (and in my own style) but I picked up a very Hachi skinny scarf a few days ago at the thrift. She’s actually been inspiring me to dress a bit more girlie and in a LOT more soft colors than usual.
