Cartoon couture

When looking at how cartoons are making a wave in fashion, it’s best to start with taking a look at Jeremy Scott’s A/W 2012 collection. Since the unveiling of his collection this winter, we have seen cartoons everywhere in fashion.

Jeremy has untapped into the world of teen blogging culture for this season.  His collection feature unicorns, cartoon prints such as Bart Simpson and many crazy accessories. He has managed to blend the worlds of both cartoons and high fashion together successful. Many critics have responded very positively to his collection. This is not something new for Jeremy, who has previously seen success for his winged trainers for Adidas. The shoes instantly became a phenomenon.

The Jeremy Scott Fall/Winter 2012 Collection has been done very tastefully. He has remained the essence of cartoons into his fashion without making the clothes to over the top or very Avant Garde.

Jeremy Scott has designed for many celebrities such as Beyoncé, Lady Gaga and Britney Spears for her Toxic video. In return celebrities have been seen wearing and supporting Jeremy’s cartooned inspired fashion. Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj and Rihanna have all worn his collection on the red carpet or on stage.

When looking at cartoons and why they have made a major impact in fashion, it’s best to have a look at the creator of the largest animated show in history, Seth Macfarlane. Seth is a writer, producer, cartoonist, singer, multimillionaire and all round genius. He is the creator of the funny show Family guy. Family guy has become the most successful animated show in history; it is a 2 billion dollar empire. Seth is also the creator and writer of other hit shows such the American dad and The Cleveland show.

Thanks to Seth, he has made animations important to us again. Many people who watch these shows see the characters as iconic. The characters from these shows become celebrities in their own right. Jeremy Scott was clever enough to blend two things that many people love right now which are cartoons and fashion. People see these characters as cute and end up buying their merchandise. So who doesn't want to buy a high fashion version of a Bart Simpson shirt ???

Talking about Seth Macfarlane, check him out when he hosts the 2013 Oscars. We can all expect some great comedy from this guy!
