The GHOST IN THE SHELL SAC_2045 x THE SUGAR PUNCH (『攻殻機動隊 SAC_2045』×THE SUGAR PUNCH, Kōkaku Kidōtai: SAC_2045 x THE SUGAR PUNCH) pop-up store opened at 2G TOKYO on Tuesday, August 22nd. It will run for one week, closing next Tuesday, August 29th.
THE SUGAR PUNCH was launched as a "creator platform" involving various creators in fashion, graphics, video, music, and art to reimagine the titles that manga geek graphic designer SUGAR fell in love with. Based on the love for the original works, graphic designs were created to serve as "advertisements" for the original titles, and brand logos were created for each work to match the logos of the original works.
The apparel items pay homage to the "rock band T-shirts" that influenced SUGAR when he was in his early teens, with a print technique that reproduces vintage textures, damage processing, and product dyeing to achieve a particular finish. This is a rare opportunity to directly see this series, which is mainly sold online, so please visit the store.

■ About THE SUGAR PUNCH
The "creator platform" will take the titles that manga geek graphic designer "SUGAR" fell in love with and reconstruct them by involving various creators in fashion, graphics, video, music, art, and more. The brand was born as a "creator platform".
The brand name is a tribute to The Japan Punch, a satirical cartoon magazine founded in 1862 by English painter and cartoonist Charles Wagman. Our mission is to bring out and amplify the appeal of the original works that the designer SUGAR respects through fashion conscious creation of merchandising for manga and other IP titles.
