Emily's full name is Emily the Strange, and she is one of the products of Cosmic fragment, a new American clothing brand. The origin of this brand began at 1992, when a group of poor students with creative talents printed their designs on T-shirts and hung them on trailers for sale. Among them, Emily, who originally had only T-shirts and stickers, was very popular because of her long black hair and expressionless alienation. Ten years later, Emily not only introduced clothes, but also peripheral products such as backpacks, CD bags, flip-flops and skateboards.
The two main colors of Strange Emily series are black and red, and the protagonists are little girls and black cats. Every once in a while, new products are launched, but the strange and strange feeling of another world runs through. People always say that women are like cats. The combination of these two fickle and confusing animals is self-evident.
Emily has four cats named Mystery, Miles, sabas and Nicky. ...
Note: There is no Emily's agent in Chinese mainland, and all products are fakes. Unless the source is Emily Hong Kong and Macao authentic channels.
The thing about a freak is that everything she does runs counter to the world.
She doesn't kill or set fires, but she is a rebellious girl who loves to play bad; She won't mess with you, but if you mess with her, you're in big trouble.
Because of this young and rebellious mentality, she is very popular with American young people in their twenties, especially the black goth group, who think she is cool.
From her "replica" T-shirt (alas, she stole her portrait and printed it on it), we can see that Emily has also begun to form a force in the local area!
Emily is only 13 years old, but she already has an adult attitude towards life:
"Emily does not pursue a sense of belonging; She pursues being lost. "
"Emily is not evil, she just means no good."
"Emily is not lazy, she just enjoys doing nothing."
She only wore a black sleeveless dress with shiny black hair and cold eyes. Although she is not as horrible as Sadako, it is enough to make some people feel chilling. It was a mysterious and deep chill.
She likes exploring, creating, investigating, and superstitious about black 8-ball prophecy.
As a comic heroine, how can there be no pet protector around? Emily has four mysterious black cats as her confidants: Nee Chee, who has six claws on each foot and knows all the secret passages in the city, is the most magical; Miles is the most agile; Mysterious, with Emily the longest time, is the most "old bird"; The Sabbath is the youngest. But I think these four cats look no different. It seems that the author should pay attention.
Street culture derivative series products
Emily is the most famous and best-selling creation of American T-shirt design group Cosmic Debris. Space debris is composed of street racers and skateboarders Matt Reed and Rob Reger (no wonder they project their rebellion on Emily because of their street background). At the beginning of 1993, only Emily T-shirts and stickers were introduced, but after 10, it developed into a series of products: T-shirts are indispensable, as well as umbrellas, backpacks, wallets, necklaces, stationery, notebooks, address books, lockable diaries, watches, picture books, cotton-padded clothes and so on. I even saw seven different designs of Emily underwear in the store in San Francisco. I can wear them from Monday to Sunday!
Emily is by no means a weak anime girl. She even has her own skateboard products and street clothes. This is the envy of many Japanese Kawaii cartoon characters.
Temperament resembles that of an American poetess.
If Emily has sisters, only the girl who squints at others in Nara Yoshitomo can be as bad as her. In a wave of Japanese cartoon characters without edges and corners, Emily is a different kind, which is also a unique selling point of her appearance. No wonder Utoda was specially invited to translate when the Japanese translation was published.
There is one thing that the author didn't say, but I can see at a glance that Emily and Emily Dickinson, a hermit poetess in America19th century, are very similar in appearance and temperament. When the poetess was alive, her work style was very fresh and unique, but at that time, many readers could not accept it and found her syntax and seclusion style "weird". It was not until the 20th century that she was hailed as one of the greatest poets in America.
The fly in the ointment is that Emily is just a cartoon character who has been extended into a trend idol because of T-shirt culture. Her background story is actually very thin, so I'm afraid it can't attract more readers into her world. So we can only be satisfied with buying her products and wearing her products (I think this is what the author cares about most). In fact, comic book fans with discerning eyes will see that Emily's rebellion is just a gesture worn by young girls.
