  • The Coraline Chuck Taylor All Star 2V Infant features an all-over star print, cat and mice graphics, and cobranded details. 

Two apparel items, including a Coraline t-shirt and hoodie, round out the collection. The t-shirt features a puff print doll graphic on the front and Coraline back graphic, while the hoodie incorporates embroidered buttonholes, a Beldam hand in rubber ink, and a sleeve graphic.

Fashion comes to Otakon 2023 with an event

Posted on by

Designer Senanan will be an in-person guest at a fashion event at Otakon 2023, according to Otakorp Inc. In addition to Senanan’s brand, anoneone, the apparel brand DimMoire will also be featured.

Living and working in Japan, Senanan moved to Tokyo in 2012 to become a designer. She has also made appearances on popular Japanese TV shows such as “Shiawase!!,” “Bonbi Girl” and “Ariyoshi Hanseikai.” 

Presently, Senanan is the president of the three fashion brands QissQill, XRN, and anonenone. She is also active on multiple social networking sites and YouTube.

Sesanan’s anonenone is a select brand that began in 2020 in the wake of the Coronavirus pandemic.  Focusing on Japanese and Asian ‘Kawaii’ culture, anoneone is a brand that allows consumers to enjoy fashion regardless of style, age, and gender.

Items from anonenone appear monthly in Japanese fashion magazines such as “LARME,” “Koakuma ageha,” and “Ane ageha,” and are currently available at SHIBUYA109 Osaka.

Also included in the fashion event will be DimMoire, which is an apparel brand with a concept of “clothes that’ll make you want to show off.” With monotones as the underlying theme, DimMoire suggests an original outlook of “applying gothic elements to everyday life.” In 2020, DimMoire launched their online shop, which immediately sold out. Via social media, the brand is gaining more and more popularity every day.

Otakon 2023 will be held from July 28 to July 30 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center.
