JoJo’s Bizarre Fashion Adventure

My entire life, I’ve loved fashion. When I was little, my mom saw me as her doll, always dressing me beautifully, spending all of her precarious teacher’s salary so I could be the most stylish girl in kindergarten. I loved matching my shoes with my headband and my little purse, and as I grew up, I started using fashion as a way of showing people who I am.

So, when my boyfriend forced me to watch Jojo's Bizarre Adventure (2012), I imagined it would be another shonen anime about violence, blood, and women with big t1ts. And even though it has a lot of violence and blood, and a lot of women with big t1ts, it also has my dream wardrobe. I was fascinated with the poses at first in parts one and two, but when my boyfriend and I started Stardust Crusaders, my mind was blown away. Not only did Jotaro Kujo instantly become my favorite Jojo so far, but I mainly loved his style. His school uniform that he always wears, personalized with the chains and belts, and his hair that melts into his hat, really show his tough, stoic character and made him more unique. I also really liked how, when we see him again in part four, he didn’t lose his essence. He has the same style but more mature; he still wears his hair melted into his hat and has that gold hand on his hat that reminds me of Star Platinum’s big hands. But now that he isn’t a student anymore, he has an anchor symbolizing his new interest: marine biology.

I thought it was brilliant how, from Stardust Crusaders to the end, the creators started using fashion as a resource to give even more life to the personality and identity of the characters. Not only by showing us through their outfits how they’ve changed, like in Jotaro’s case, but also how the clothes they wear have a connection to the stands they possess. Since the power of the stand comes from the power of the soul, fashion in Jojo’s is a representation of every character's inner power.

Even though in the third part the outfits were simpler—except Jojo’s, as he still had a badass outfit—Kakyoin had an all-green suit, symbolizing his stand Hierophant Green. Josuke has his amazing distinctive hair, with his modified version of the traditional Japanese uniform with a peace symbol and a heart, which makes me think of his stand Crazy Diamond, which has the ability to repair instead of destroy, like Love does. Bucciarati has a lot of zippers in his outfit, making the connection to his stand Sticky Fingers more obvious. Giorno Giovanna has ladybugs in his clothes, referencing his connection with nature and his stand Golden Experience, which can transform objects into living beings. And Jotaro in Stone Ocean has a shirt with a star, in honor of his iconic stand Star Platinum—plus, he has even cooler pants now.

Another thing I loved about watching Jojo's are the references to pop culture. Not only are most of the stands named after bands, albums, and songs that I really like, but I also loved discovering the fashion references and the collaborations between my favorite brands and Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure. Writing this post allowed me to dive into Hirohiko Araki’s mind, where I found a lot of his inspiration. For example, Giorno’s hair is very similar to what Karen Mulder wore to a Mugler runway. I also found a lot of Versace magazine covers with poses very similar to those in this anime and manga, which was really unexpected because I never imagined that when I first started watching this show, it would have such an interesting connection to fashion. The worlds of c and anime are connected through Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, to the point where they’ve even collaborated with Gucci. More recently, Araki released a collaboration with Shueisha's UOMO magazine, where Bruno Bucciarati poses on the cover wearing Balenciaga to promote the Hirohiko Araki JoJo Exhibition: Ripples of Adventure exhibition. Expanding his work outside the anime industry and leaving his legacy on fashion too.
