A fashion label based on re-created costumes of comic-book heroine Yoko Tsuno, yoko x nora presents wearables fusing comic book cool with contemporary styles. The adventures of Yoko Tsuno center around Yoko, an electrical engineer, and her close circle of friends. A time and space traveling electrical engineer, single mom, with a family-like circle of friends, Yoko is an unsexualized and multidimensional character that stands as an alternative to the repetition of gender stereotypes in the world of comic books. By dressing in Yoko’s reconstructed costumes, the heroine’s friendship-based spirit of adventure is animated by anyone wearing pieces from the collection.
