Corsets have long been considered an outdated fashion garment that no one really wants to wear, but their reputation changed for the better in recent years. Atasan Studio is one of the independent brands driving this revolution, and their designs are mostly inspired by anime and Japanese pop culture.
Founded in Malaysia in 2021, Atasan Studio became a true sensation on social media, with 200,000 followers and counting. Their creations are deeply rooted in Japanese culture and perfectly capture the spirit of this country through such motifs as Sakura flowers, koi fish, and dragons.
The main reason why Atasan Studio’s designs became such a huge sensation is the fact they’re usually pop-culture-themed. The majority of their designs borrow inspiration from popular anime and manga series, such as One Piece and Attack on Titan.
The majority of Atasan Studio’s corsets are a love letter to Studio Ghibli’s animated movies. From Howl’s Moving Castle and Ponyo to My Neighbor Totoro and Kiki’s Delivery Service, it’s highly likely you’ll find a corset inspired by your favorite Ghibli film on their Instagram page.
Atasan Studio’s designs are handmade by artisans in their small studio, and they come in a wide range of sizes because they’re custom-made. You don’t even have to be an anime fan to enjoy them because Atasan offers a wide range of beautiful designs that aren’t rooted in a pop culture.
