Author's Comment

Link to this sectionAuthor's Note
In my manga, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, there is a kind of supernatural entity called ‘Stand’. It is a visual personification of its user’s mind or spirit, which stands over its user, protecting them like a kind of guardian angel.

My strongest image of Bulgari is of the Serpenti (or “snake”), with its powers of protection against evil, which is also one of the brand’s iconic motifs. On this occasion, I have designed a collection of items for everyday use—including BB Alba bags, wallets, bandana and Shelley, which incorporate the image of ‘Killer Queen’, one of the most powerful of all of the ‘Stands’ that I have drawn in my manga.

I would be truly happy if my items would protect the people who carry them, for health and safety, and at times when they have to fight, for love or in their work.
私の漫画作品『ジョジョの奇妙な冒険』に『スタンド』と呼ばれるものが登場します。それは心の形を視覚化、キャラクター化したもので、それを持つ者の守護神のような存在でもあります。私が持つブルガリのイメージは、アイコンでもあるセルペンティ(蛇)が持つ『魔除け』です。今回、日常で身につけるアルババッグやウォレット、バンダナ、シェリーなどのアイテムに、私が描いてきた『スタンド』の中でも最強の力を持つものの一つ、『キラークイーン』でデザイン致しました。健康と安全、そして時には愛や仕事のために闘わなくてはいけない時に、それを持つ者を守護するアイテムとして持っていただければ本当に嬉しいです
