In the past few years, we've seen a rise in artists fusing anime with fashion.
But more often than not, these works you'll come across scrolling through Instagram lack originality. Just simply popular anime characters wearing hype clothes. It is rare that you come across somebody doing this in an original, unique way.
Berlin-based artist ORE is one of these artists, doing his own thing, creating tons of excitement. Credited as one of the pioneers of the entire manga/street movement, Ore's unique style pushes the boundaries of traditional anime/manga aesthetics.
Influenced by street culture, hip hop, fashion, graffiti, punk, and cartoons, his distinctive visual identity creates excitement not only on social media, but in real life, and recently the NFT world. His 90s and Y2K nostalgia-style have landed him joint works with a diverse range of names, from Tommy Hilfiger, Sucuk and Bratwurst, Kontra K.
