Sukeban, Olympia Le-Tan's women's Japanese wrestling league, made its L.A. debut with an audience that included Saweetie, Diplo and Barbie Ferreira.
Sukeban in Japanese signifies “delinquent girl” — the leader of a girl gang. It’s also the name of a Japanese women’s pro wrestling league cofounded by fashion designer Olympia Le-Tan that’s attracting a stylish crowd.
“It’s kind of a family affair because my sister’s husband had this idea,” Le-Tan explained. “We went on a trip to Japan together and went to see a bunch of these wrestling matches over there. And we just loved it. And so, he asked me if I’d be interested in working on this with him, creating a league of our own and bringing it to the U.S.”
When she had her own clothing brand, which she showed during Paris Fashion Week, Le-Tan was known for her whimsical “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” style, playing with female stereotypes. And she brings a similar sensibility to Sukeban, designing all the costumes and overseeing creative direction.
Using largely MAC Cosmetics, the makeup took about six hours to create altogether, said Le-Tan. The colors are bold, matching eye shadows and liners to the costumes and personas. Commander Nakajima, in shades of gray and black, had on bold lashes and a dark liner. For Crush Yuu, the focus was on the hair, worn in braided and colorful pigtails.“He weaved all these different colors into their hair,” Le-Tan said of Lanni.
