Summary
"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."
