About JoJo and Fashion

What the hell is JoJo? For you who never heard about this legendarically awesome title, let me give a brief introduction about it.
16 years ago, there's a man called Hirohiko Araki who published his manga, this man, inspired by Hokuto no Ken or widely known as Fist of the North Star, trying to make a manga that maybe, can be as manly as Hokuto no Ken, with blood and eerie environment. This manga called as "JoJo no Kimyouna Bouken" or internationally known as "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure".

This manga later has a great deal of success, from 1987, until now. Now? Yes. This manga is not ended yet. It has more than 100 volumes and still continuing. For a manga that can run more than 15 years, what makes this manga so popular and awesome? I'll make some point about it:

1. Great story telling from Hirohiko, even if in the earlier volume the art is really a bizarre.

2. JoJo's bloodline who spread across the world from Europe to America to Asia.

3. Tons of amusing characters with weird naming sense.

4. Hilarious reaction of each characters towards certain condition.

5. Each character has distinguished poses and, last but not least,

6. FASHION.

Fashion? Why Fashion? 

JoJo, beside known as having unique poses, like this

Also known for it's unique fashion style for each characters. Not to mention that Gucci made contract with Hirohiko for publishing JoJo side story for Gucci's clothing line. Oh wait, please don't tell me you don't know Gucci? 

That's Gucci, a fashion brand. You don't need me to explain further do you? Oh well, Gucci is one of the leading fashion brand in the world. WORLD. Not only Japan. There's no doubt in Hirohiko's sense of fashion if Gucci wanted to have a contract with JoJo, right?

This blog will be all about it. JoJo's Fashion. I'll make a review about JoJo's fashion, and I'll give a casual example that could be applied to everyday wear! Sounds good? Stay tune!
