Sanrio x Steve Aoki

We all know that Sanrio originated from Japan, which is also home to a vast majority of manga and anime. For its latest collaboration, Sanrio has teamed up with Dim Mak, a fashion brand founded by DJ Steve Aoki, on an anime-inspired collection.

According to a statement from the brands, while growing up, “Steve sought to learn more about his Japanese culture through anime and manga”. As the inspiration behind this collection, the clothes depict Hello Kitty and friends with sparkly anime eyes.

Hoodies

The collection includes hoodies like the Rainbow Hoodie, which comes in lavender and black. Popular characters like Hello Kitty, My Melody and Pompompurin seen on the Sanrio ice cream cups appear on the hoodie, along with friends like Keroppi and Badtz-Maru. 

If you are a fan of anime from the ’90s like Sailor Moon and Cardcaptor Sakura, you’ll notice that the characters have eyes similar to your favourite characters. The bright sparkly eyes match the kawaii look the Sanrio characters already have, making them look extra cute.
