Japanese animation film company Studio Ghibli teamed up with clothing brand PARTY NY to create a new anime clothing line. The collection features characters from the company's most famous films printed on sweaters, jackets, dresses and hats. This new line comes in sizes for all ages from baby to teen, so that anyone can buy a sweater with their favorite character on it.
Named the 'Studio Ghibli no Anofuku,' this range pulls inspiration from films such as My Neighbor Totoro and Kiki's Delivery Service. The company uses only high-quality materials in each article of clothing, making sure that every piece will last for a long time.
As well as the anime clothing line, the brand also offers knitting services to knit any Studio Ghibli character into previously owned sweaters.
