Look Like an Anime Heroine in this Skirt!

Anime Shopping Manga Fashion Souvenirs

While Japan’s Village Vanguard bills itself first and foremost as a bookstore, the chain also dabbles in fashion, and its newest offering is a line of skirts designed to seemingly give you the slim, svelte silhouette and long, luxurious legs of an anime heroine.

Produced by fashion design house No. S Project, the skirts are officially called the "Intersection of the 2-D World and Destiny Skirts." As the name implies, they’re inspired by the appearance of characters in anime, manga and video games.

The polyester skirt is high-waisted and fits snugly through the small of the back. It’s not exactly a corset, but it will help to make the midsection look slimmer than a less-constructed waist, and by raising the perceived position of the waist, it also gives the impression of longer legs.

In addition, the skirt is stitched in a way that causes it to quickly billow out as the material passes the hips, which again makes the waist look slimmer by comparison.
