In a recent behind-the-scenes design interview, the creator of Mikasa Ackerman from Attack on Titan revealed the inspiration behind her iconic wardrobe. The sleek black leather jacket was designed to reflect her strong and determined personality, while the white turtleneck adds a touch of sophistication.
The designer highlighted that the choice of high-waisted jeans and black high-heeled ankle boots emphasizes the perfect blend of style and functionality. ‘Mikasa needs an outfit that allows her to move freely in battle while looking elegant,’ he stated.
In contrast, the more relaxed outfit with the red printed T-shirt showcases the character's versatility. ‘I wanted fans to see Mikasa's lighter and fun side,’ explained the designer, emphasizing how fashion can be an extension of a character's personality.
On current fashion trends, the designer added, ‘Fashion is constantly evolving, and it’s important to capture not only what is popular but also what resonates with the character’s identity.’ This approach ensures that Mikasa is not only a symbol of strength but also a fashion icon in the anime world.
