CLAMP Designs New Cardcaptor Sakura Dress for Hello Kitty's 50th Birthday Bash
posted on by Ken Iikura-Gross
It's surreal knowing Sanrio's Kitty White — a.k.a. Hello Kitty — is celebrating her 50th anniversary. To mark the occasion, she is partnering with manga creators for some new looks, and the latest one comes from legendary creator quartet CLAMP.
ClAMP revealed their design for Kitty on their X (formerly Twitter) account on May 23. In the post, the group also featured an image of Sakura Kinomoto from their manga Cardcaptor Sakura wearing a paired dress with Kitty. The post noted the illustrations will be displayed at the Lady Kitty House in the Sanrio Town at the Sanrio Puroland theme park in Tama City, Tokyo beginning on May 24.
