The new Branden Collins Cartoon Network Line takes fun, familiar patterns and characters straight out of kids' shows and puts them on apparel, home accessories and more.
The San Francisco designer takes well-known images and faces from shows like Adventure Time and re-imagines them, creating these splashy, adorable clothes and decor pieces. From backpacks to beanbag chairs, the line can be used to deck out a kid's room and wardrobe.
The Branden Collins Cartoon Network Line plays on the idea that the colors and animation that entice kids can be artfully worked into pieces that appeal to adult tastes as well -- following the progression of kids' animated movies and shows to become a medium of engagement with audiences of all ages.
