It has been 50 years since robotic cat from the future, Doraemon, made his earthly debut in Japan. Since the launch of the first Doraemon manga back in 1970, the character has grown to become a much-loved and well-known symbol of Japanese pop culture.

To celebrate the half-a-century anniversary, Doraemon has teamed up with iconic Italian fashion brand, Gucci (which also celebrated 50 years in Japan earlier in the decade), to release a number of limited edition collaboration items.
The special collaboration has been designed by creative director Allesandro Michele, and sees stylish Gucci products featuring the little blue robotic cat.

In addition to the collaborative products, Doraemon is also being featured in Gucci’s advertising campaign to celebrate the New Year. In the campaign, Doraemon is featured within ‘everyday life’ photographs taken by Angelo Penetta.
