Take a break from adult life and transport yourself back into the wonderful world of animation, doodles, comics and cartoons. 

Fashion's relationship with nostalgic childhood fictional characters does not appear to be breaking down. Everyone has a favourite and it's no surprise that designers continue to tap into our desire to revisit our youth by collaborating with iconic 2D muses.

Vivienne Westwood led the way back in the late '70s with her naughty 'Seditionaries'. Her now infamous collaboration with Malcom McLaren and Jamie Reid featured Disney's Snow White in not so white provocative poses with the Seven Dwarfs. Nowadays everyone is at it.

Whether you're underground or overground there's a cartoon collaboration out there for you. From Comme des Garcons x Matt Groening's "Binky & Sheba PLAY' collection (taken from the '70s dark comic strip Life in Hell) to the commercial crowning of Spongebob Squarepants as a 21st Century fashion icon by Jeremy Scott at Moschino (crikey, Marc Jacobs even has a tattoo of the little "Knucklehead McSpazzatron" so if you think you're a fashionista worth your salt you better soak it up!).

The secret to making this style chic and stopping you from looking like an oversized infant is how you choose to wear it. Interpret a feeling of ease whilst playing with your favourite childhood iconic image!
