Evangelion Fashion Looks to the Future

The first day festivities of the Evangelion:30+; 30th Anniversary of Evangelion fan festival started strong with an Evangelion fashion show and dance performance during the “DAY 1 UNION PART.” While one would think the fashion show centered on fans and their Evangelion-coordinated outfits, it was, in fact, a show of official Evangelion apparel. However, the end of the fashion show showcased some spiffy Evangelion-themed outfits. The dance performance, in turn, featured EXILE member Sekai, who delivered an exhilarating performance. Here are some of the highlights from DAY 1 UNION PART.

The fashion show featured 20 models sporting Evangelion official merchandise. Interspersed throughout the show were Evangelion visuals and new renditions of music from the franchise's 30-year history.

The dance show saw 10 dancers performing new renditions of Evangelion music.

Voice actor Fumihiko Tachiki (voice of Gendo Ikari) made a surprise appearance at the end of the dance performance, showing off a stylish sports jacket with scenes from the Evangelion franchise on the inner lining.

Following the performance, Tachiki jokingly stated, “This was a first for me. I think I'll be a voice actor and model from now on!”
