Hangry & Angry, a brand under the H.naoto name, is a perfect way to express a more light-hearted side of a gothic-lolita or punk inspired look. In the picture above, the model to the left holds a doll of a Hangry, the punk cat, and is adorned in a more punk inspired look to match the character. To the right is Angry, the more gothic-lolita influenced side of the brand. These two characters and their styles separate Hangry & Angry from other H.naoto brands.
With a mix of cute and scary, Hangry & Angry stand out exceedingly from the crowd. As previously mentioned, the two characters inspire two different styles of clothing. Pieces that are associated with Hangry, on the left, present a cute, punk look. One that can easily be mixed and matched with other clothes to create unique themed outfits. The Hangry clothes are more light-hearted and modern with bolder graphic designs and a heavier emphasis on simpler patterns.
Angry, on the other hand, represents the gothic-lolita aspect. Gothic-lolita is generally associated with the "Victorian" inspired appearances that one would see on dolls. This motif carries over into the clothing associated with Angry by showing the complexity that can come from the mix of multiple materials with an array of patterns. Below is a shirt that can fall under the "Angry" category. Made of a thinner material that frills around the neck and drapes along the openings, it gives off the classical vibe that gothic-lolita should. The inclusion of Angry's face makes it cuter.
Above is a shirt that follows the "Hangry" side of the brand. A loose fitting cotton T-shirt with a humorous image of Angry being eaten by Hangry. The striped eyes are large pockets and the black material over the shoulders are cat ears. Simply put, when stretched out, the shirt is a large Hangry face. Along with the clothing, Hangry & Angry offers an assortment of accessories such as bags, dolls, pouchs, and scarves like the one below.
