Online retailer ASOS's own line, ASOS DESIGN, worked in collaboration with the creators of The Simpsons on a partnership collection full of summer-ready pieces. The capsule celebrates the cartoon show and its iconic characters -- seeing design motifs of Homer, Lisa, Marge, Bart, and Aunts Patty and Selma.
There are over 30 streetwear pieces in total, featuring graphic tees, sweaters, jackets, overalls, swimwear, jeans, shorts, tote bags, socks, belt bags and even a bucket hat. The silhouettes evoke a nostalgic vibe on top of the already nostalgic cartoon theme -- all of which are available in women's, men's, unisex and ASOS Curve and Plus sizes. Some key items in the range include the bright bucket hat and the belt bag that reference the show's drug store, Kwik-E-Mart.
