Celebrating its 30th anniversary, the iconic anime series "Neon Genesis Evangelion" continues to captivate fans worldwide, constantly launching new collaborations that speak volumes about its enduring appeal.
Recently, the series announced its second partnership with Japanese fashion brand MAISON SPECIAL, part of the PLAY PRODUCT STUDIO group. This new collection draws inspiration from classic "Evangelion" scenes, reinterpreting them through MAISON SPECIAL's unique design lens into striking graphic knitwear and T-shirts. Fans can currently pre-order items on the MAISON SPECIAL official website.
Founded in 2019, MAISON SPECIAL has rapidly gained traction, especially in the e-commerce market. The brand is known for infusing distinctive elements into everyday wear, with eye-catching color palettes and gender-neutral designs that resonate strongly with consumers. Its apparel lines, primarily women's and unisex, align perfectly with current trends, making it a favorite among Japanese university students.
This collaboration features two main styles: vintage-inspired short-sleeve tees and knit sweaters. Each piece blends the "Neon Genesis Evangelion" universe with MAISON SPECIAL's signature aesthetic, creating a range of fashionable items that are both distinctly "Evangelion" and perfectly suited for daily wear.
▼ Prime-Over Crew Neck Damaged Knit Sweater - Price: 24,200 JPY
This drop includes two bold designs: one featuring a classic moment with Rei Ayanami and Asuka Langley Soryu, and another showcasing EVA Unit-02 in its "Beast Mode Type-02." Both make a powerful statement. The sweaters incorporate a retro faded treatment and distressed knit details, giving them a well-worn, vintage feel—perfect for anyone who loves a good old-school look.
▼ Prime-Over Printed T-Shirt - Price: 12,100 JPY
This collection offers four distinct designs featuring Rei Ayanami, Asuka Langley Soryu, Kaworu Nagisa, and the Fourth Angel, all reimagined with original hand-drawn artwork. The casual lines and intentionally aged brushstrokes create an artistic, visually striking effect. A spray-paint style adds a raw, analog vibe, while the T-shirt fabric itself is meticulously crafted to mimic the feel of a much-loved, frequently washed garment, with careful attention to both color and texture.
