Sukeban, the all-female league of Japanese pro-wrestling A mix of sports, entertainment, tradition, fun and fashion
If all you know about pro wrestling is guys like Hulk Hogan and John Cena, you'll be pleasantly impressed by Sukeban, a Japanese all-female pro wrestling league. Think Glow, the Netflix series TV, set in 1980s Los Angeles, which tells the story of the emergence of American women's wrestling, reinterpreted with an Eastern twist, but with less spray paint and tousled hair.
From Japan to the rest of the world: the mission of Sukeban
Involved in the project are designer Marc Newson, who will create the title belt, Olympia Le-Tan, who is responsible for the costumes, Stephen Jones, who will make the hats, and Mei Kawajiri, who will make the wrestlers' manicures special with her nail art. There will also be anime and manga by Sakana Koji at the event.
