NANA hasn't had a new chapter since 2009. Ai Yazawa has been on indefinite hiatus due to illness for over fifteen years. And yet the manga's cultural footprint has done nothing but grow — new generations keep finding it, falling hard for it, and immediately going looking for Vivienne Westwood-style corsets and bondage trousers. The fashion is inseparable from the story. So when Tokyo-based apparel brand ADDIXY announced a dedicated NANA collaboration dropping in February 2026, it landed exactly as hard as you'd expect.
ADDIXY and the NANA Connection
ADDIXY was founded by Saki Horiuchi, a designer whose background spans classical piano and rock music — a combination that makes her an almost suspiciously perfect fit for a NANA collab. The brand's concept is "addictive stimulation for everyday life," fusing music culture with classic fashion construction. It's not a novelty streetwear label. The pieces are structured, well-made, and designed for people who actually want to wear them outside.
That personal connection to the source material shaped the entire direction of the collection. As Horiuchi explained, the goal wasn't to recreate the characters' outfits as costume pieces. It was to imagine how someone who grew up loving NANA's music — the Blast sets, the raw emotion, the Westwood references — would dress now, as an adult, with the accumulated weight of experience behind them. "The young energy and vitality are there," she said, "but with the nuances of calm strength and space that can only come as you go through life and learn with the passage of time."
The collection centers on three characters: Nana Osaki, Ren Honjo, and Shinichi Okazaki (Shin). Three people whose badass rockstar exteriors barely contain the complicated, tender chaos inside. Perfect material for clothes.
The Collection Breakdown
Nana Osaki
The two anchor pieces for Nana are built around a dark plaid check fabric — classic punk tailoring with real construction behind it. The Check Cropped Jacket (¥40,000 / ~$275) combines classical tailoring with a rebellious spirit, featuring a lotus motif charm attached as a subtle nod to Nana's iconic tattoo. The matching Check Hem Skirt (¥29,000 / ~$200) is designed to pair with it, cut with a handkerchief hem that adds movement and an asymmetric edge to the silhouette. A lotus motif charm and an original "nana model" collaboration tag sewn discreetly into the garments ties both back to the world of the manga without advertising it.
The Nana & Hachi Graphic Tee (¥12,000 / ~$80) pulls iconic artwork of both protagonists and reconstructs it for daily wear — three-dimensional printing that renders even fine illustration details cleanly, with a metal collar detail adding a sharp accent.
Ren Honjo
Ren's piece is the heaviest hitter in the drop: the Leather Check Jacket (¥48,000 / ~$330). Contrasting leather paneling against a check fabric base, it captures exactly what makes Ren compelling — the duality between his magnetic stage presence and the quiet solitude underneath. The leather-and-check combination shouldn't work as elegantly as it does, but that tension is kind of the point. It's the most expensive piece in the collection and the one that earns its price most clearly.
Shin Okazaki
Shin gets two of the collection's most conceptually specific pieces. The Tie Bondage Shirt (¥26,000 / ~$180) takes his aesthetic and builds it out with belt hardware details and a tie embroidered with the line "Good night, Reira, sweet dreams" — a direct reference to one of the most emotionally loaded relationships in the manga. It's the kind of embedded detail that means nothing to a stranger and everything to a fan. The Border Lace-Up Top (¥22,000 / ~$150) translates his look into a cleaner, more wearable silhouette with a striped border pattern and lace-up detailing.
The 707 Room Tee (¥12,000 / ~$80) rounds things out with motifs from the apartment where Nana and Hachi first shared a life together — Room 707 of Nana House, one of the most beloved settings in the series.
The Moment This Collab Is Landing In
ADDIXY's drop is part of a broader NANA renaissance that's been building through 2025 and 2026. Yazawa herself announced the continuation of the manga after years of silence. A Vivienne Westwood x NANA capsule — the collab that fans had been imagining for twenty-five years — finally happened in 2025. HARE announced their own NANA collection launching March 2026. The series is everywhere right now, and each collaboration is coming from a different angle.
ADDIXY's angle is the most personal and the most rooted in the music. It's not trying to out-Westwood Westwood. It's asking a different question: what does it look like when someone who loved this story at 16 builds clothes from it at 30? The answer, it turns out, is a collection that's quieter and more considered than the source material — but no less devoted to it.
