這家店，其實我經過了很多次，但每一次我都匆匆地路過，因為我不知道這家店，其實也是一家快閃店，直到我注意到掛在窗戶上的宣傳木牌之後，才發現這裡也可以逛逛。
有關瑪尼亞尼不思議的世界這個品牌，聽起來蠻酷的，不過，我並沒有聽說過，但是解說上提到是一位日本插畫家所創作的，而這類可愛又可怕的生物，總是能抓住我的注意力，創作者設定，這是一個緊鄰人類世界、卻不會與之交會的奇幻世界，而這裡的居民外貌會隨著內心情緒的觸動而改變，所以，對他們而言，外在表情的強烈轉換是家常便飯，主要的角色有黑貓怪物、可愛企鵝、 靈動的兔子，以及一群披著各種圖案布料、喜歡徘徊在陰暗角落的貓怪物，作者用了很多貓元素，我相信，絕對能吸引到不少貓迷們。
這個月月底剛好是萬聖節，而這個品牌，我覺得和萬聖節的氛圍還蠻契合的，充滿了詭譎搞怪與歡樂節慶的氣息，像是咧開大嘴微笑的貓怪物們，身上就有黑色與橙色的萬聖節色調，傳統上，黑貓與女巫被視為不祥的結合，這個刻板印象隨後成為萬聖節最經典的符號之一，而這個品牌剛好有黑貓，所以還真的很應景，總之，這是一個以詭異搞怪為主旋律的品牌，又有點壞壞惹人愛，我還蠻喜歡的。
I’ve walked past this shop called “Naughty Little” many times, but I always just kept going without stopping. I had no idea it was actually a pop-up shop until I noticed a wooden promotional sign hanging in the window. That’s when I realized there was something interesting to check out inside.
The brand “Maniani’s World” sounds pretty cool, although I’d never heard of it before. According to the information displayed at the shop, it was created by a Japanese illustrator. I’ve always been drawn to cute but creepy creatures, so this kind of artwork naturally catches my attention. The creator describes it as a fantasy world that exists right next to the human world but never actually crosses paths with it. The creatures living there change their appearances depending on their emotions, so dramatic changes in their facial expressions are perfectly normal for them. The main characters include a black cat monster, a cute penguin, a lively little rabbit, and a group of cat-like monsters that wander around dark corners wearing fabrics with all kinds of patterns. The creator has incorporated plenty of cat elements into the designs, and I’m pretty sure they’ll attract quite a few cat lovers.
Halloween is coming up at the end of this month, and I think this brand fits the occasion perfectly. Its designs are full of weird, quirky, and playful vibes, with just the right amount of Halloween spirit. For example, some of the cat monsters have huge, wide grins, and their black-and-orange color schemes are classic Halloween colors. Traditionally, black cats have been associated with witches and bad luck, and this old superstition eventually became one of the most iconic symbols of Halloween. Since this brand features black cats, it really couldn’t be more fitting for the season. All in all, this is a brand built around weird and mischievous characters, with a slightly naughty charm that makes them hard to resist. I actually quite like it!
