The models at Nathan Jenden's Spring 2010 collection showing were bearing more than minimal resemblance to popular Japanimation, [manga character](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shonen-jump-store) of the nineties, with their Sailor Moon hair.

Rocking their Sailor Moon hair, the ladies had their long locks parted down the middle and pulled back into symmetrical, high pony-tails, braided down their backs, swinging behind them as they strutted down the runway.

**Implications** - Whether it's the storylines or the art itself, [anime is dominating the cartoon world](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/geeks-rule-hellsing). The entertainment industry has taken note of this rise in popularity by trying to replicate its style with cartoons like Avatar: The Last Bender. The influx of Japanese/Asian influences are demonstrating consumers' acceptance of other cultures, which brands can take note of should they need to look for inspiration in a world outside of theirs.
