My 80s Obsessions

I have an obsessiv nature. It's all or nothing. Perfectionism is one side of this medal, loosing 
myself in details is a weird form of bliss.
Most of you know I have a sneaker obsession, but my nerdism does not stop there.
I have a penchant for most elements of the 80s especially with a HipHop history (Double Goose 
jackets, Cazal sunglasses, jewelry like namerings, cookie chains and grills, boomboxes and so on).

Here's an obsession which's seedling was planted in my teenage years, when I first watched it 
and has developed to a force in the past decade : AKIRA by Katsuhiro Otomo. 
It is the film I have probably watched the most in my life together with FANTASIA (another 
masterpiece, but from a much earlier era) and will never be able to stop praising.
It's my go-to watch if I am too lazy to decide on a movie and my favorite clothing inspo forever.

For me Katsuhiro Otomo is a genius of style and details, so it never gets boring to enjoy it over 
and over and over again.
YOU CAN HANG EVERY FRAME OF THIS MOVIE AS A PICTURE ON YOUR WALL! 
This love for details 
frame composition in a movie I found in the work of masterminds like Akira 
Kurosawa, makes my heart sing.
The impeccable Japanese cool of Kaneda gives me the best neo-Steve McQueen vibes.

Here are some original drawings and cells from the production, which are so amazing in my 
opinion, that I must share them























Show love
