This phase underscored her versatility, as her modeling complemented live performances and reinforced her status as a multifaceted artist in the visual kei and alternative scenes.

Fashion design and personal style

Nana Kitade's personal style has been a defining aspect of her public image, prominently featuring gothic lolita aesthetics that fuse Victorian-inspired frills, dark color palettes, and punk elements, thereby influencing the visual kei subculture among fans and artists alike. In the early 2000s, her look embodied a rebellious punk schoolgirl vibe, characterized by tartan patterns, studded accessories, and disheveled uniforms, as seen in her music videos and live performances that captured the raw energy of her debut era. This aesthetic evolved post-2010 into a more refined gothic elegance, with layered corsets, lace details, and monochromatic ensembles that conveyed maturity while retaining an edgy, subversive undertone. Kitade ventured into through collaborations with prominent brands, notably partnering with Baby, the Stars Shine Bright in 2007 for the limited-edition Nana Kitade x Charmmy Kitty collection, which included punk-inspired skirts, cutsews, chokers, and accessories drawing from her album themes and signature style. These pieces, such as the Bontage Nana Charmmy Skirt with its bondage straps and cartoon motifs, highlighted her ability to blend pop culture with subcultural fashion. Reflecting her ongoing influence, Kitade's 2025 fan club merchandise via the official store incorporates elements of her mature gothic aesthetic, featuring premium T-shirts, long-sleeve shirts in black and dark tones, and accessories like silver rings designed for her anniversary celebrations.
