# Couture-Clad Anime Characters The Magomed Dovjenko 'Domo Arigato' Series is Pop Culture-Infused By Shiori Mine | Published 2012-08-13 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magomed-dovjenko-domo-arigato References: [english.mashkulture.net](http://english.mashkulture.net/2012/08/13/domo-arigato-japanese-anime-meets-high-fashion/) & [iammago](http://iammago.com/) The Magomed Dovjenko 'Domo Arigato' illustration series features an eye-catching mash-up between iconic couture brands and Japanese anime stars. Taking the likes of Pikachu and Sailor Moon and unleashing badass luxury makeovers, Dovjenko seamlessly blends two distinctive worlds into one buzz-worthy series. Illustrator and art director Magomed Dovjenko -- otherwise known as Mago -- works in a graphic style, with emphasis on black and white, hard-edged motifs. The fashion-infused anime characters have been decked out in the logos of couture marques like YSL, [Chanel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chanel-geometry-set) and [Louis Vuitton](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superflat-animation). The illustrations have altered these pop culture icons into humorous and lavish spoofs, while maintaining their original attitudes. Filled with intricate details and couture-clad depictions, the Magomed Dovjenko 'Domo Arigato' series demonstrates the talented imagination of this German illustrator. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 63% | Activity: 53% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Pop Culture-luxury Brand Mashup:** The trend of merging iconic pop culture figures with high-end fashion brands creates opportunities for disruptive innovation in the luxury fashion industry. - **Graphic-style Illustrations:** The trend of using hard-edged illustrations in creating pop culture art gives rise to creative applications in the advertising and entertainment industries. - **Anime-inspired Fashion:** The trend of blending anime with high fashion creates opportunities for collaboration between the anime and fashion industries. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Luxury Fashion:** The couture-clad anime series by Magomed Dovjenko highlights innovation opportunities in the luxury fashion industry related to using pop culture visual languages for designs and advertising campaign. - **Entertainment:** The Domo Arigato series demonstrates the imagination and creative possibilities for using anime-inspired, graphic-style illustrations in the entertainment industry, from videogames to animated TV series. - **Anime:** The Domo Arigato series presents opportunities for anime companies to collaborate with luxury fashion brands and graphic designers, as well as for global licensing and merchandising. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [High-Fashion Anime Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fendi-x-frgmt-x-pokmon-collection.md) - [Graphic Fashion Animation Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superflat-animation.md) - [Opulent Anime Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fendi-4.md) - [Monster-Adorned Capsule Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/capsule-collections.md) - [Opulent Anime Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jimmy-choo-x-sailor-moon.md) - [Artful Luxe Fashion Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/otani.md) - [Artful Cartoon-Inspired Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doraemon-meets-the-louvre.md) - [Anime Horror-Style Reimaginations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/junji-ito-artwork.md) - [Character Art-Infused Leather Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moynat-x-kasing.md)
